Thanks, Andrea. We probably took over 1000 pictures and these were the best. We also snorkeled every day, that is the only way to see the variety of wildlife that we saw. We saw something different EVERY single day. The camera is great, but FYI...we touched them up in Photoshop also.

i am considering "pirating" your photos. aka stealing! ;-)

seriously there are a few that i would love to enlarge, frame and hang.

i remember your daily reports back during the winter.....your snorkeling reports were terrific and the excitement in your words was wonderful.

many of us have NEVER seen such good marine life while snorkeling in aruba.
aruba has good snorkel and good scuba.
bonaire the "B" of the ABC islands has SPECTACULAR snorkel and scuba.
your snorkel photos could easily pass as bonaire snorkel photos.

once we are settled in our new house, i may be contacting you about acquiring a few of your photos the "legal" way.

Nope, just snorkeled from shore. Catalina Cove mostly.

The turtle pics are from Catalina. We saw the same turtle almost every day. He has a cut on the back right foot. A very friendly guy!

Yes that is an underwater camera. Works great on land, too. We took a LOT of pictures. Those darn fish just won't sit still, so we had quite a few that were blurry. These were the best.
