Snorkel Trail<br />
In mid-2012 two snorkel trails in Nelly Bay<br />
and Geoffrey Bay were established by TOBMI<br />
(Tourism Operators and Businesses <strong>Magnetic</strong><br />
<strong>Island</strong>). These are self-guided trails use surface<br />
floats with handles to mark out the trails, and<br />
sub-surface floats with large acrylic letters<br />
designate points of interest.<br />
The Geoffrey Bay trail is close to the wreck<br />
of the Moltke and also a WWII propeller and<br />
engine block. Water resistant swim cards<br />
which you attach to your wrist, have specific<br />
information related to the floats and letters.<br />
These handy Swim Cards outline which<br />
species of fish and coral you are likely to see<br />
at each location, and specifically at each<br />
float that you pass, including the 100kg<br />
aquacultured giant clams!<br />
The cards will also show you how to find<br />
the Moltke wreck and the WWII aeroplane<br />
propeller with some accuracy.<br />
Your $5 donation for the use of these cards<br />
supports the ongoing costs of insurance<br />
and maintenance of the trails.<br />
These cards can be recycled after use by<br />
leaving them in the drop box at the start<br />
of each trail.<br />
