I did a boo-boo. We were snorkeling in a cave and I borrowed someone's GoPro to dive down and film the people and the fish above in the gorgeous blue of the water.
Coming back up for air I didn't realise I'd drifted under the overhang and hit my head on the volcanic rock under water. Managed to not swallow water, found the surface and swam to the nearest inflatable boat where they washed the cuts and got me to the boat for disinfection and bandages.
We're going to be near Santa Cruz island tomorrow where I'll pop in to the doctor's there to see if I need antibiotics.
I'm disappointed that this may jeopardise future snorkeling on this trip. We'll see.
