It’s where we all want to be right now, floating weightlessly in crystal-clear tropical waters someplace warm. “In my dreams,” you might lament. Yes, that might seem a distant fantasy right now, but maybe we can offer you the next best thing.
Here are two pictures of an underwater paradise (minus the shark) somewhere off the coast of a beautiful white-sand balmy beach. It could be Bora Bora. It could be Cancun. Either way, you want to be there.
The two scenes are almost identical, but not quite, for hidden cleverly within them are 11 distinct differences. This isn’t just a tropical getaway; it’s also a spot-the-difference puzzle for you to solve!
So, while you pore over the ocean floor and schools of fishes in search of leisure, see if you are able to spot all 11 differences between both pictures.

Need a hint?
Okay, here’s just one clue to help you in your search: The snorkeler in the picture is in search of underwater treasure—you can see a treasure chest full of gold almost within his reach. But ask yourself this question: How is he going to carry the gold back to shore? He might be able to grasp a coin or two in his hands (difficult while swimming), but that’s not very efficient. So, how is he planning to collect more treasure and carry it back ashore?
Look again.

*Some might argue that each flipper ought to be counted separately (which is reasonable), in which case there are 12 hidden differences.
