Off the deep end

There was time for one last snorkel before we started having to pack up and go back to New Zealand.

The differences between above the sea, and below the water.

These fish hung around the shore line, we would watch them from the beach.

Erik went a little deeper than I did.  He saw Banner fish, snapper, as well as the usual suspects.

Schools of fish hid in this gap between the coral gardens.

One of the biggest fish Erik saw during the Vanuatu visit.

Titan Trigger fish, Moorish Idol, and Angelfish exploring the sea floor.

Iridescent colourings on the deeper fish.

Snapper, damsels and butterflies.

Not sure what this sea creature is, perhaps a type of sea star?
