Snorkeling Around Gili Meno




One of the memorable experiences at Gili Meno was the snorkeling. The island is surrounded by coral so one can just swim off shore to enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery. One morning we all boarded a glass-bottom boat to explore the coral wall and do some snorkeling. I ventured far and wide amongst the coral being pulled along by the strong current. Jackie and Emily snorkeled near the boat while Danielle stayed in the boat and watched the coral, fish, and turtles through the glass bottom.
The hilight for me was swimming up behind a big green sea turtle (about 2m away) and taking its photo before it swam off. The photos here were taken with a Kodak underwater disposal camera.
