Recorded this audio on 'our' deck last week after sunset. Instantly relaxes me to listen to it...thought you all would enjoy it too: Click here!

Hi there! I just bought my first underwater case recently, and used it even more recently (last week!) A few things: DO bring and use the silica packs -- I forgot mine (didn't read the manual and thought they were just for shipping). My case was fine without it most of the time, but on one day it de...

He was about a foot and a half or so...a lot smaller than the bigger guys we saw at Francis all week!

Thanks, savvy...although I can't take credit for the camera work on that clip; that was my husband (I'm the one in the video, in the green shirt!)

thanks, guys...that makes me feel a bit better! We're REALLY looking forward to the trip, and snorkeling's one of the main reasons we're coming to StJ.

Now if I could only speed up the months till December....

We're planning a trip in December and we're wondering whether the snorkeling isn't as good at that time because the water is slighly colder then (not as many varieties of marine life, etc.?) We're so obsessed with finding good snorkeling that we'd be willing to move the dates of our trip! Thanks for...
