Saturday we broke up camp and then went back to the snorkeling place. We split up into boats and snorkeled in 4 different places. First we went into a massive school of bigeye jacks that also had some triggerfish. And at one point I looked down and 15 ft down from me was a bull shark. AJ was already telling everyone about it by the time I popped my head out of the water, and we had to get back in the boat. Apparently bull and tiger sharks are the most likely to attack people...
Then we went to the second place, over coral. We had to wear lifejackets there so the park officials knew we couldn't dive down to touch anything. But it was really cool, I saw a moray eel, a golden grouper (which is supposed to be really rare), more queen parrotfish, lots of butterfly fish, schools of Chromis, and more.
The third place was a sea lion colony that we swam with. I did get pretty close to one, but these guys weren't as friendly as the ones in Loreto, so we got back in the boats pretty fast.
The last place was another reef-some fish from there: surgeonfish , King Angelfish, Rainbow Wrasse, Cornetfish, and Leopard Grouper.
After we got back from snorkeling we drove through Cabo (where we stopped to get lunch) and went to Todos Santos. We stayed with one of AJ's friends, all of 3 doors down from the awesome surf hotel we stayed at for spring break. She's planning on making it kind of a mini-camp ground and it was completely beautiful. It was also fantastic to stay somewhere with a roof and a kitchen and a shower, even if we slept in tents. It was a nice break.
