-My experience snorkeling at Obyan beach was one of the most terrfying but most fascinating experiences of my life. I know it sounds weird and all but I may be born and raised on and island, which makes me an island girl but swimming in the ocean would be the last thing on earth I would chose to do if I had the choice. I saw so many different kinds of species, which some were freaky, disgusting, scary, unusual, but were all unique and interesting in their own ways. Charmaine and I caught this huge, ugly creature, which happened to be a sea cucumber. It was so weird because it was the first or rather more the third kind of sea cucumber that i ahve seen other than the black or the one in the tank stored in the lab.
