Snorkelling
During our snorkelling tour we travelled to a private beach called butlers beach. During the day we stopped and looked at varies bays to see if the water where calm enough to snorkell. During the morning we stopped quite a bit through out the morning and could not find calm waters. After lunch we stopped at a bay called butlers beach which is one of the main beaches in the property. After lunch we travelled and stopped at the first beach we saw, which was called treasure cove. This cove was the calmest we had seen all day and we decided to stop there to snorkell. Before we jumped into the water Beardy showed us some skills of snorkelling. We learned the skills to clear our masks, duck dive and then blow the water out as we came to the surface, and other skills like letting the masks of under water and then blowing the water out with our noses. During our free time snorkelling we didnt see much sea life, i saw a few decent sized fish but that was really it for the day, i think it could of been better if the sea was alot calmer. The best part about the snorkelling for me was to be able to see a pink jelly fish, it kind of scared me but then i just watched it swim away which was pretty cool. My greatest challenge i had with the snorkelling was one of the skills which was go under water and take your snorkell off under water and blow the water out when you retured to the surface and blow it out with your nose and i really struggled with this new skill and i could not complete this in the end.
