We went on a catamaran and we went snorkelling. In the water I saw some coral and lots of different fish. I saw a school of small yellow fish and I saw an eel. The eel was blue and yellow. My mum spotted some swirly coral and I saw something that looked like seaweed but it was round. I am going to identify what I saw on the Internet. All of our family went in the water but my brother only went in a little bit. A man from the crew was with us and he controlled the catamaran. He used the wind to move and he stopped by turning the boat in the direction of the wind. When we were going back we went on the boat but my dad went swimming back to the shore. I couldn’t go because my mum did not let me but as we got closer to the shore my mum let me get off the boat and swim to the shore.
