At SnorkelingOnline.com we LOVE having fun and that includes when we make our videos. We offer over 50 videos and continue to add more on a weekly basis. Click on our snorkeling video categories and sit back and enjoy todays video which is about Underwater Communications.

Snorkels not only help you breathe while you are in the water but it also helps you conserve energy so you do not have to constantly lift your head out of the water to talk. SnorkelingOnline.com has put a video to show you, the snorkelers, how to communicate with your snorkel buddy. We like to add humor in our videos so we hope you enjoy it.


Snorkel With The Sharks

by Roy on February 4, 2010

What to do when there is 8 to 10 inches of snow on the ground, no vacation in the very near future….the only thing to do is snorkel the internet. My night owl tendancies got the best of me when I came accross the link below. What a fantastic way to have a mini snorkeling adventure without having to spend boucoup bucks on a real vacation.

I found this article at the NJ.com website and it seems that the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, New Jersey offers a swim with the sharks adventure for anyone age 12 and older. What a cool way to introduce someone to the underwater world. This is also a great learning experience for the kids and something that they will remember for years to come. There are a few other places across the United states that offer this unique experience….with the exception of my home state of Illinois….:(

Does anyone know of any other swim with the sharks programs in other states? It would be cool to get a list together. Let me know.

Snorkelers, What Would You Do?

by Cathy on February 1, 2010

What would you do if you saw a 6 foot – 650 pound jellyfish? Walk on water? That is what I would do as I was heading back to the boat or shore. The jellyfish I am talking about is the Nomura Jellyfish.

For the past 3 summers, Japanese fishing boats continue to capsize beause of these large underwater creatures. The giant jellyfish get caught in the fishing nets and the fishermen do not know that the creatures are in the net and when they bring the nets up, the weight overturns the boats.

Read more on CNN, MSNBC and National Geographics.

Here is a video that I enjoyed and I hope you will. It will show you how large the Nomura Jellyfish are.
