We told him he doesn't need to do it but he insist, and when we finally can see the station we told him we can manage. He is very apologetic that he can't bring us to the main station, we we're so grateful for his help.

A little known fact is these snakes have REALLY small fangs and would have a tuff time biting a person. We saw them all the time while scuba diving in Okinawa, which Kudaka is a stone throw away. I was more worried about the dozens of other deadly critters in the water over there. Seemed like everywhere you looked there was something in the water that could kill you; blue ring octopus, sea wasp, cone shells, scorpionfish, lionfish... Still, you don't want to get bit by one of these guys. These women have a HUGE set of balls.

Wow! They could be on the survivor show! No competition! Theyd win, hands down! Fastest hands in the land and seas 😂 Iam just glad I aint no sea snake! Lolol

There really wasn’t much of a risk. Sure these sea snakes are very venomous but that are also extremely docile. I was swimming with these snakes in Fiji and Western Australia with no issues at all. In fact their mouth is so small that you would almost have to stick your pinky in their mouth to get bite. Don’t fear these snakes...they are beautiful and I’m glad I was able to see a few in the wild.

Unbelievable their complete casual lack of fear! I was expecting to see them bite the snake's head off and spit it back into the sea!!
