The Snorks

If you don't remember The Snorks Saturday morning cartoon from the 80s, you aren't missing much. As one fan put it, "Take a Smurf, stick a snorkel on his head, put him underwater and force him to replace the word “Smurf” with the word “Snork” when he speaks, and you'’ve got the basis for The Snorks." One of the reasons we chose Utila is because of the abundant snorkeling to be had. My first time snorkeling was in Baja on our last big trip a couple of years ago, so I was pretty blown away with what there was to see just off shore. Jenny has had a lot more water adventures than I have (maybe with the exception of hot-springing), but even she was impressed. I bought a waterproof camera case specifically for this trip, so I'll just let the pictures tell about the seascapes that we saw on an almost daily basis. Unfortunately, some of the more impressive sea-life eluded photo capture, such as the spotted eagle-ray, barracuda and green moray eel that defended itself from me.
