Torii Station with friends

Some of Ryan's colleagues were in town teaching a pesticide certification course, and they asked if we could show them a decent snorkeling spot.  Torii Station is one of our favorites, and the dive shop on base will loan gear to visitors.  After getting some fins and booties, we went to look from so pretty corals.

The weather was OK.  It wasn’t sunny, but not completely overcast.  The underwater visibility was pretty good when the sun emerged from the clouds, but otherwise it was just an average day in the water.  Everything was new to our friends, so we tried to make sure they saw the usual suspects: a sea snake, giant clams, anemones, and an assortment of soft corals and fishes.  We did not see an eel, although I’m not sure we’ve ever found eels at that particular spot?  It was about two hours of fun, and then we celebrated with some garlic fried rice.

Here are some of my favorite shots from the day:
