Tugboat Wreck Curaçao - Photo Friday

tugboat-wreck-curacao

One of the most fun moments I have had since I bought an underwater camera (Sanyo Xacti VPC-E1) was a snorkeling trip in Curaçao where we visited a tug boat wreck. The boat was in shallow enough water to allow access to snorkelers and not just scuba divers. Taking pictures of this boat felt like a scene out of the titanic. And the fact that we had sailed there on a schooner (The Bounty) was just another element in a perfect day.

I also shoot video of the wreck which you can see on: Travel to Curaçao - Sailing and Snorkeling with the Bounty (part 2) - Video Episode 38.

Swimming with Jellyfish

No Comments » pacific, video


Gary from Everything-Everywhere.com sent me this video that he shot in Micronesia snorkeling with jellyfish in Palau. The jellyfish in Jellyfish Lake on Palau do not have any stingers so you can safely swim with them.

I am trying to schedule time to have Gary come on the Amateur Traveler and talk about his travels.
