Snorkelling in Mombasa







The day after we arrived in Mombasa we took a dhow and went snorkelling about an hour from shore through a company called Pilla Pipa. Along the way to the reefs we got to see a group of dolphins swimming in the water.




It was not the clearest day but the water was beautiful and the fish fascinating. We were so close to the coral reefs that at some points if I stood up I would be touching them! I saw all sorts of fish, including stingrays.




We were also lucky enough to swim to a sandbar and hang out in the middle of the Indian ocean for a while. Even Mom got in the water!
