Possible Shark Sighting at the Promenade in Nice
Two days ago, the beaches along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France were evacuated due to what was a possible shark sighting. It was never confirmed whether this extremely rare sighting was indeed a shark. It was noted that it could be a mola molas (poisson lune) or a dolphin.
Below is a clip of the local TV report (french):
Later reports cast doubt on the theory of a shark in Nice waters, as it was discovered that a female dolphin was found dead today near the island of Saint-Honorat in Cannes. It apparently died after giving birth leading some to believe that this was what was seen in Nice two days ago.
Rolled out of bed this morning and…
Me, snorkeling near Cap de Nice
So I woke up this morning with no ambitions at all. The only things I were considering at the time were POSSIBLY cleaning up the house just a bit, and MAYBE going snorkeling in Nice, France, where I live. Then I got to thinking… I have a few spots that I go to pretty regularly, and I wanted to try something a bit new. Well, one thing led to another, and next thing I know I was registering a new domain name and setting up a new site! You see, I’ve learned everything I know about snorkeling and diving in Nice and the Côte d’Azur from personal and anecdotal experience. I could never really find good information in English online, so I just decided to compile and share it myself.
Azure-snorkeling is just my latest brain child, and I have a lot if ideas ideas on where it will go, but no real precise idea of exactly where it will end up. At this point, I do know that I want to put up a whole bunch of pics, lots information about snorkeling in Nice, some maps of where to go, and lots of info about the flora and fauna, but that’s about it for now, I’m still trying to figure out a solid plan.
This project is now about 14 hours old, and it’s started taking a life of it’s own already. Stay tuned, there will be lots more to come.
Oh yeah, and just in case I look back at this first post some years later in a nostalgic mood, I’d like to remind myself that today was the day I got my first jellyfish sting.
