One of my favorite excursions so far has been snorkeling. During afternoon free time, a group of us traveled to Villefranche to snorkel. We began by getting outfitted in full gear- wetsuits, goggles, and snorkels. At first I was dreading having to wear a wetsuit, but I later realized that it was much needed! After getting fully outfitted, we took a 10 minute boat ride to a beautiful reef. Once we all were in the water, we split into two groups (although we all ultimately ended up swimming together). While snorkeling, I saw several sea urchins, a small octopus, and a variety of small fish. The reef was just as beautiful as the sea life. It was narrow, hugging the cliffs that faced the water, and after no more than 15 feet from the shore, it disappeared and the water dropped infinitely.
Snorkeling has definitely made the highlights of my trip so far. Coming from the mountains, I do not have the opportunity to snorkel very often, so I immediately jumped on this opportunity. The water and reef was beautiful; all in all a perfect way to spend my afternoon.
