Thunderball Grotto ~ Staniel's Cay
Here we are getting ready to snorkel the world famous Thunderball Grotto. It is the setting for some select scenes of a few different movies, including the James Bond movie 'Thunderball'.
It is a under/above water cave that you can swim into during the low tide. During high tide, it is possible to get in, but the current is really strong during the changing of the tides.
It was by far the most amazing underwater scenery and sea life that we have yet to see. There were hundreds of fish of many different varieties.
Due to the fact that we definitely have a lot to learn on fish identification, I cannot tell you what types these were. But, there were toms of them!
This is the view of the 'ceiling' of the cave from inside.

There is sooo much variety and intensity of the colors underwater...
Fellow adventurers.
The fish are really used to people, and would swim right up to you to say hello.
This was one of the few smaller entrance/exits to the cave.
Bretton took this shot looking from inside, to us outside in the open water.
It was an amazing afternoon, and we all had an amazing time!
