Snorkeling

The "Divers Down" flag went up on the boat at around 9:00 this morning.
First three groups of divers got in the water, then me, the lone snorkeler.
A school of pilot whales were the biggest animals we saw today.
We joined the whales during the surface interval when divers stay out of the
water for safety reasons. Quite a few people snorkeled above the whales.
The next-biggest thing was this tiger shark, which Len saw while diving
at Crescent Beach. Meanwhile, I snorkeled there in quite shallow water.
I saw many schools of fish swimming among the jagged lava rocks.
A starfish on the rocky cliffs.
