School today, even though it rained a bit with high winds
last night no significant amount of rain fell. After school a friend and I took
our snorkel gear and went to a cove near Quram Heights. It is a cove surrounded
by what looks like limestone cliffs. There is coral there and a nice selection
of fish. The water was nice and warm and
the air warm as well. I saw beautiful blue parrot fish, striped fish and so
many more types. As we were snorkeling we were surrounded by huge schools of
fish, so many we couldn’t see the bottom.
They seemed endless and there were at least two separate schools with
different types of fish. There were also smaller schools as well. The large
ones must have had 500 000 fish. My mask
was very tight so after 45 minutes we came out and sat in the sun. The schools
of fish were jumping right out of the water like synchronized swimmers. (See movie clip). In the distance we could see
3 oil tankers making their way from the Persian Gulf

Jumping fish surprising the boy.
