Scott's Head

Took a visit down to Scott's Head this weekend. Scott's head is a small peninsular of land at the far south island. The isthmus between scott's head and the main land has the Atlantic on one side and the Caribbean on the other the Caribbean side forming a nice bay which is perfect for snorkeling! Which was the main reason for my visit and a very successful visit it was as I was fortunate enough to be able to snorkel with a young hawksbill turtle. Every time I have been diving or snorkeling I have missed the turtles so it was very rewarding to finally swim with one!

The bus ride back was rather interesting, with 18 people crammed in the back of a 12 seater bus, travelling Italian job like roads at 50mph... with a pair of fins (flippers) hitting me in the face at every turn. But well worth it!

The dive boat marks the drop off point which you can clearly see by the change of water colour.

Some of the old fortifications from the colonial days!
