back to diary
December was mostly just taken up by being busy working, until the 21st when I went to Belize with Luke and his family.   We were staying on an island called San Pedro and we went snorkelling and diving and eating....

There are many pictures, but they are mostly of fish.
we arrived on a small plane, like this one

To the left is the dive shop just by the place where we stayed.
me snorkelling, and then Luke showing me something
lots of coral
the image is half underwater and half above the surface, but the top half isn't very well focussed.  It's amazing what you can't see from above the surface though.
A nurse shark in the middle, pipe fish at the top and some curious jacks too
The rays weren't too bothered by us.  This one swam right over Jan (Luke's brother).
me, mostly
can you spot the flounder trying to hide from me?

There's a ray in the photo below too.
a parrotfish on the left and a damsel fish above (guarding its garden of algae)
more fish
