When it's calm, Tisa's (Alega Beach) has some of the best snorkeling we've seen on the island. We've tried to snorkel there a lot, but it's usually so rough that Clif is the only one who ends up going out. So I decided not to bring my snorkel gear on Sunday, but on the drive out there I noticed how calm the waves were along the ocean road so we turned around to get the snorkel stuff. It turned out to be a great decision. I had one of the best snorkel days I've had on the island. There were tons of fish! Some of my favorites were the raccoon butterflyfish, regal angelfish, achilles tangs, huge schools of white-spotted surgeonfish, groups of orangespine unicornfish, black snappers, and flagtail triggerfish. I didn't want to come back in!

I'm continually amazed that you can rattle off all those fish names. I'm more of the, "ooooh, purty fishies" type! If only you had pictures to help your less talented friends with identification.
I can only rattle off the fish names because we have fish identification books - and we look at them every weekend!
