Well, after almost two months of no entries in the blog here we go again. Friday November 27 we had a cold front came through and shore diving was no possible. Tracy and I decided to explore and take pictures (not good ones due to the combination of bad photographer- breath holding- no enough weight- strong current conditions) one of our favorite snorkeling spots: South Sound. We snorkeled from the shore all the way to the wreck of the "Pallace". The Pallace was a masted cargo vessel that use to ran from North to South America all the way to Buenos Aires, Argentina during late 1800's. She is broken in pieces over the shallow barrier reef of the sound. The stern and parts of the deck and mast can still be seen and provide a magnificent shelter for many species of fish. We counted eight big Porcupine fish, two nurse sharks, several big lobsters, big school of grunts, sargent majors and school masters. Many sea fans decor the area and the many brain coral heads are in pristine shape. Also the Fire Coral makes great beautiful groupings of phenomenal shapes. By the shore we saw many baby lobsters, juvenil tangs and even a big Lion Fish that then was captured by the certified wranglers.
We swam along the shore from Caribbean Paradise Condos all the way to Emerald Bay Condos; we followed the sand ripples in just a few inches of waters. We encountered two gigantic Scaly-Tailed Mantis in their holes and spent a long time watching them move sand from their hole.
