Today we were visited upon by three kings! Truly I have never seen such a mystic entrance. At Smith's Reef Ian and I swam out a bit further to another section of coral. We were excited to spot one large and one small ocean trigger fish and below them, just leaving the coral, a turtle. Then out of the darkness, across the grass came three spotted eagle rays in triangular formation; a sight we had never seen before. The three were grazing and so in no hurry to swim away from us. Actually it was like we weren't even there. We were able to swim over top and take a good look. As they dispersed we followed two of them as they went over the coral reef. What an awesome experience! Did we have a camera? No.
In the afternoon we went back to S.R.. Although we couldn't expect the magic of the morning, we could hope. As it turned out the snorkelling was almost as good. This time Ian was equipped with his camera mask. Two turtles approached us from different directions and then criss-crossed in front of us. Two eagle rays swam with us and this time Ian captured their magnificence. What could we expect tomorrow on our big snorkelling excursion?
