I already mentioned that the Guyana Current makes the waters
around Tobago especially productive. Though the waters were generally clear
with good visibility, occasionally it was like swimming in a soup of plankton
and ctenophores and other jellies (but no stingers!). This was more gratifying
than annoying, since a rich ecosystem is always a delight. Besides, it meant
that there were masses of fish and corals and other sea life, which is, after
all, what we snorkel to see. Here are some pictures of the highlights of our
snorkeling on the reefs along the northern coast of Tobago.
