Have you ever seen the James Bond movie Thunderball? Well, I have and I have also been to the cave that is named after it. On the 3rd of June we arrived in Staniel Cay the home of the famous cave and anchored in 10 feet of water. We noticed a building that in big red letters said Club Thunder Ball. We asked where the cave was and they told us to go to the closest rock and you will see a buoy. So we did that and around the corner was another boat and a buoy. We tied up and Connor jumped in. As soon as he was in 150 fish swarmed him. Next dad jumped in and opened a pack of crackers and they all moved from Connor to dad. They where so close you could touch them. The fish where wild and all attacked the cracker at once. I had never seen so many fish in one place before. There were sargeant majors, parrot fish, angel fish, grouper, snapper and even an eel.

We went into the cave and the fish would just follow you in. Dad went into the cave first and then everyone else. When we got in all the fish where there. I started to feed them but I started to scream because they where swimming through my hair and nipping at me. I was so scared. Dad asked if Connor and I wanted to swim through to the other side. We both said yes and swam to the other entrance. Connor went through first then dad helped me through. We went back and someone spotted an eel. It was about a foot long.

We all got in the dinghy and drove back to the boat and dropped dad off. Mom, Connor and I went back for another snorkel. This time mom bonked her head on a rock and I started screaming again.

In honour of visiting the cave we watch the James Bond movie Thunderball, and if you had only seen the movie you would never know the beauty in Thunderball Cave .
