Three short turtle videos

JC · Post by JC » Tue Apr 15, 2008 9:28 pm

All three videos are taken of the same turtle at Little Lameshur. Watching the video, I wonder why I didn't let the camera run longer. At the time...it felt like I had plenty...! Who knew?! Again...some of the quality of the video has been lost in the uploading process. Still kinda neat if you've never actually seen it!

That was really cool...

Is Little Lameshur a good place to see turtles? We are first timers at the end of May and thought that might be something we wanted to see. (Yes, we do have turtles in Vermont..hehehee)
I always look to see where people are from. It gives context to posts...usually humorous.

Thanks JC...loved 'em!!

1st and only time I swam with any turtles was @ Hawksnest years ago. It was my 1st visit to STJ...it was a definate highlight for me.

I'll be back in June and will want to find some, so what would your opinion be for the best snorkel, turtle sighting beach?

Thanks again,
Kathy

You make me feel like "a month and 9 days" feels like FOREVER. Can't wait to swim with the turtles again. Thank you for the teasing video.

I must agree....they are AWESOME videos of the turtle. Will have to check out Little Lameshur in a few days once we get into island mode!

Little did I know when I got up this morning that I'd be drinking my coffee accompanied by a STJ turtle snacking on sea grass. Those clips are so relaxing. I felt like I was right there in the water.

We just bought an underwater camera with housing that I'm still trying to figure out. When the spouse (Electronic Man) sees this, he'll be begging for an underwater camcorder, too. (Is that what they're called? I'm gadget impaired.)

We saw turtles at Maho and Waterlemon last July. The ones at Maho were not too far from shore and stayed around all day.

Thanks for sharing.

Where do you get the underwater video cams?

pj was right.

Most digital cameras have a video setting/function - uses up lotsa space on the memory cards though. The Canons can give you pretty good quality.
