Yes we did and were lucky enough to capture on video the snorting of salt which they do as they drink sea water. I will find some pics for you all!

They are even more spectacular in the flesh but difficult to photograph as they are so timid!

Oh wow! Did they not scare you? I'd be terrified around sharks! The water might, maybe have been to cold, but did you come across any sea horses? Thanks, Box Girl, sorry for all the questions!!

I have never seen a seahorse yet it is on my list. They are so small and very difficult to see! One day maybe?
