Another aandtsociety snorkelling trip.
I suppose every one has herd of snorkelling with dolphins and would like to!
Well this isn't that, this is snorkelling with a mantis shrimp, a very big mantis shrimp.
This one came up at me just after I got a bit of film when I first saw it in 28 feet of water.
It than followed under me for a while and than sat and watched me, not a good feeling; these things can do some serious damage.
They can club you with there ivory club, than spike or cut you, all in the blink of an eye, plus they are capable of breaking the glass on a fish tank.
Not a good snorkeling buddy!
