Cara's mother had seen our blog posts about Caye Caulker when friends would come visit Belize, and she wanted to do something similar. So, that meant a snorkeling trip in Hol Chan Marine Reserve. A sailboat is definitely the most relaxing way to get to and from the snorkeling spots, so we went out with
Raggamuffin Tours.

Apparently we were lucky to have just the right number of people so that we got to go out in their catamaran instead of one of
their smaller boats - perfect! |

Our first stop was the Hol Chan Cut, which is a narrow channel in the barrier reef through which boats can pass. These Blue
Tang fish were hanging out in the shallower waters before the break. |
The GoPro waterproof case fogged up so Cara didn't get any photos of the deeper area, but we did see things like a Barracuda and a Moray eel.

A nurse shark at our second stop, Shark Ray Alley. |

They fed us lunch, and we hung out for a while, and Deedra was loving the whole experience. |

Our third and final snorkel spot was Coral Gardens. |

This is normally our least favorite snorkel spot because we don't often see much here, but this time we saw a juvenile Green
Sea Turtle. Yay! Cara was hoping her mother would get to see a sea turtle. |
Here is a short video of the sea turtle:
