Snorkeling

Sunday, November 10, 2013
On Saturday I went snorkeling here in Okinawa for the first time at the Meada Flats. Yes, I went on the 9th of November and the water was still great! I love it here! 
When we got there, it was a little overcast so I was a bit skeptical but my friend said we should wade out and see how it felt. I'm so glad we did because once you were in it took just a few seconds to adjust and then the water felt warmer then the air!

It was amazing that there was a deep pool right next to the shore (about 20 feet in front of the kayaks) that had tons of amazing fish including a Lionfish. Then, if you walk out to the past that spot, you can really walk all the way to the reef (but be careful, there are sea urchins EVERYWHERE!).
Out at the reef there is a drop off that pretty much goes straight down and there are fish and creatures everywhere! It was amazing and the water was so clear. I will have to get an underwater camera for fun sometime to show you all how amazing it looks! The coral was not as bright as I expected but the fish made up for that and more! They are so colorful!! I really liked the bright teal parrot fish.
