Paul's Snorkelling Pages

"The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." Jacques Cousteau                               "The water is your friend. You don't have to fight with water, just share the same spirit as the water, and it will help you move" Aleksandr Popov                               "Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." André Gide                               "If you are looking for beauty in Sharm el Sheikh, you need to look underwater" Lonely Planet guide                               "Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air…" Ralph Waldo Emerson                               "I have an underwater camera just in case I crash my car into a river, and at the last minute I see a photo opportunity of a fish that I have never seen." Mitch Hedberg                               "When you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent." Dave Barry                               "You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water" Rabindranath Tagore

Snorkelling game

Friday 23rd August

A new snorkeling hazard - when you come back to the beach and have to fight off a gang of capuchin monkeys who are trying to steal your stuff. Cue Sue shouting "no, not my trousers!" There was much snarling and baring of teeth. The monkeys were quite aggressive too. It was like a scene from a low-budget "Planet of the Apes", except the humans won in the end.

Happy New Year!

There's only one date in the diary for this year (so far), as we'll have a few days snorkelling in Costa Rica, after a certain event in August.

Meanwhile, in the news:
