We stayed at another unit in Grande Bay this past June so I know what you mean about the music from the Beach Bar. It was not nearly as loud in August, at least during our stay. We could hear it faintly in the living room but not in the bedroom so we slept fine. Although we've enjoyed the convenience of staying in Cruz Bay, we've opted for villas (splitting our two weeks between two villas) next June.

That will be wonderful.

I used a camera which probably not many folks use these days - the (ancient) Canon D10. I take crappy photos with that camera as well as presentable ones. As much as I enjoy taking photos underwater, I've been lazy about upgrading to a newer better camera. I like my Canon G15 that I use daily and have thought about buying the housing so I can take it underwater but that hasn't happened.

Have you seen the photos Steve takes with his high-end camera with the housing? They are as great as the camera itself looks. Steve told me but I can't remember what kind of camera (it's not SLR). Since you've spoken with Steve, you might already know. Sorry I'm no help. Hope your husband will find a camera that makes him happy.

I was SO excited this morning to see a trip report from you!!!

I LOVE your writing, and your GORGEOUS pictures! Thank you for putting names to (fish/animal) faces!

We were there at the same time - went to the same beaches, I felt the earthquake, and we missed you at the Beach Bar! Next time!

Thanks again for sharing! Now I need to motivate to post OUR trip report....

Great report and Pics! Thanks you made my day!

Thanks so much for the wonderful trip report! I love to snorkel, too, so I loved your pics! Can't wait to be back in the water next week! Your pictures and trip report just increased my anticipation!

Miss you pickle ! Had so much fun with you and hubby- both in the water and in the land!

WOW...OMG and TY
