Pickle - that (unfortunately) was not the "snake" I saw - mine had a solid orange stripe along both sides of it's body - no dots, no spots

Hmm, that is a mystery. I've never seen or known of any orange-striped ones like that. Would’ve loved to see a photo but I’ve noticed (actually, seen ) you don’t snorkel with a camera.

We might need a real marine biologist (or herpetologist?) here.

Haha - no I don't swim with a camera but I might now

Pickle, I always look forward to your informative, artful underwater photographs. As for Pia’s interesting “sea snake” (scary!) topic, Google Pelamydrus platurus. Could that be a possibility? Thanks, again, for your many contributions.
