With another cold front approaching we decided to extend our stay at Warderwick Wells. Consistent with several of the other fronts, the weather just before the front was sunny and quiet making for an excellent snorkeling day.
Having checked out some of the northern coral areas we loaded the dinghy and headed south. Our first stop at Emerald Rock yielded some great photos with many varieties of fish.
Then we headed still further to Malabar Cays. It was here that Captain Dave hopped out of dinghy into the water stuck his head in and immediatly started yelling - well yelling as best one can with a snorkel in his mouth. Curious to see what he had found I also stuck my head into the water and WOW WHAT A SIGHT. It was a lobster - a large lobster - running across the ocean floor from one coral head to another. We watched as the big guy reached the next head and then struggled to curl up his big tail and back into his new found hideaway. There are many things you never expect to see and this was certainly one of them. We are still shocked at our great find.
