Snorkeling at Sunabe Seawall

James and I kicked off the 2010 by snorkeling at Sunabe Seawall. There were a lot more fish out here than at Zampa Beach and the current wasn't nearly as bad. We also got to see some pretty cool things.

There was a very small crab shell that I saw about 15 feet below the surface resting on the coral. I dove down and brought it up to the surface to show James. As we were examining it and taking photos, the crab started coming out of his shell to attack my hand. I had to keep flicking him in the face lightly so I wouldn't get pinched by his claws. Not too nice of me... When we were finished checking him out, I swam back and placed him on the ledge where he was originally resting.

We also saw lots of Sergeant Majors. They were swimming up to us thinking we had food...nope...sorry guys. And of course as soon as I dove down to try and get a picture of them swimming around James, they all decided that we were no longer interesting. The photo-op never happened...

In addition to the crab and sergeant majors, I noticed the usual array of various types including butterfly fish, angelfish, several box puffers, lizardfish, and some parrotfish.

After about 40 minutes of swimming around, I started getting a bit chilly so we headed in. Once again, it was another terrific day of snorkeling on Okinawa.
