Oh what a (fort)night! October 2011 Trip Report Part III

[Jen East End]

Wow! Love these pictures! You two kids really know how to have fun! What a great day of snorkeling. Can't wait to get there and snorkle again...

[EagleRayLover]

a couple of the questions answered that Steve missed-

PA girl-yes the parking lot is done but we never used it- our favorite little spot was always vacant so we just
scooted in there!

Lex-the flatworm was gorgeous. He was about 5-6 inches long and one of the coolest things I ever saw! Steve said it reminded him of the magic carpet in the movie Aladdin and I said I thought it was what I perceived it might be to be on LSD since I had never used it!!! The way it moved and colors it really engaged all your senses (what do I know!!! )

Augie- I am just now catching up on your reports- such amazing pics! I skipped snorkeling this trip (hubby is not a snorkeler), and now looking at your pics I am sad I missed out! But I am living vicariously through ya'll. Very cool encounters so far- can't wait to read more as I get my above water TR ready

Augie, seriously, you should enter a picture of that flat worm in some kind of contest. It's amazing and so rare.

May be able to finance your next trip to St. John.

[St. John Lover]

wow, I've been snorkeling 25 some years and never have I seen that flat worm. Utterly beautiful--you made my week, in fact your made my month! (if not longer!).

Here I thought the only thing I hadn't seen underwater was a seahorse but nope, something I didn't even know existed and I hadn't ever seen it.

Thank you, thank you!

Augie ya got some real nice underwaters. The flatworm was a way cool sighting!

[Puddlejumper]

Some amazing pictures Augie. You hit the jackpot!

[ColumbiaSCTraveler]

Y'all take AMAZING pictures! I'm in agreement with everyone - enter the flatworm pix into a contest! Should be a shoo-in! Very much enjoying your trip report! Thanks for taking the time to do them!

I have looked at your pics a dozen times. Thanks for sharing. I have an underwater camera but have been having difficulty with it at times recently. I don't want to risk a trip without a functioning camera. So I am seriously considering one of the two you mentioned - the canon or olympus. Tell me your thoughts on both-is one easier to use? does one take better pics? how do videos turn out? Any words of wisdom would be appreciated as it is so hard to make a choice just by looking online. Thanks

Great trip report and pic's. Can you tell me some more about this rash guard with thermal protection? Who makes it and where do I get one? We have gone 4 times, always Jan/Feb. This year I was Really cold in the water. Some days I just couldn't make myself go snorkeling, it was too cold.
