SNORKELING HIGHLIGHTS
Swimming through a thick school of fish!
Large banded blenny
Finally figured out that the blue fish guarding nests are male Panama sargent
majors!!!! They are usually gray, but turn a brilliant dark blue when they are nesting.
ISLA RABIDA: Snorkeling highlights
Sea turtles (4!!!! Unless I saw the same one twice, but even 3 is amazing)
Penguins. (These dudes can just fly underwater.)
Boobies diving into the water just in front of us. Bad aim could cause real harm.
Baby sea lion on the beach.
