Words by Amy Weir
My brother Rob and I have recently been taking advantage of the relatively warm summer waters of the Bay and enjoying at least one snorkel each week within Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary.
When conditions are favourable, we meet early on the beach and head out to explore one of our favourite snorkel sites at either Quiet Corner or Table Rock. It has become a fascinating, relaxing (and addictive) way to start the day.
With each dive, we have become more familiar with the underwater landscape and our local fishy friends. Rob and I would like to share a small snippet of some of the creatures we have discovered on our dives, captured on GoPro, that hopefully inspire you to explore our marine life for yourself š š¤æ
