Answer 3

Why didn't you find out when you where there? And probably what you saw was not a blue sea snake but due the water color it appeared as blue/green. Sometimes the sun and the water give you a false image under water (sises,color) of marine fauna and flora. I was a diver for long time here and never saw a blue snake in the waters near the Dominican Republic.
