Att: Snorkelers, Dont Miss the IMAX Under the Sea 3D

by Cathy on March 30, 2010

I grew up with Warner Bros and Imax and put them both together and you get an awesome entertainment of a show. The new program, Under The Sea 3D is absolutely breathtaking and is a must for those water lovers like me!

“Under the Sea 3D will transport moviegoers to some of the most exotic and isolated undersea locations on Earth, including Southern Australia, New Guinea and others in the Indo-Pacific region, allowing them to experience face-to-face encounters with some of the most mysterious and stunning creatures of the sea. It will offer a uniquely inspirational and entertaining way to explore the impact that global climate change has had on ocean wilderness,” advertises the IMAX website.

So this movie is a must to watch if you and your family/friends are true snorkelers…

Snorkel Equipment on Sale

by Cathy on March 12, 2010

Ahhhh… spring is in the air and with most who had wicked winters is looking forward to the sun shine. Now being in Chicago, I can feel the pain for those on the east coast this past winter and for those of us who go through the cold, snow and wind, we can not wait to grab our snorkeling gear and get out of the country.

Whether you are going on a cruise, an island or rented a sailing yacht, you definitely want to jump in the 80 degree warm waters. BUT don’t forget your snorkel gear… so you spent all of your money on your vacation? No worries, SnorkelingOnline.com thinks of all of our snorkelers on a budget.

Our Snorkelers Clearance Sale has mask, fins and snorkels and accessories for everyone. Now just because it is on sale, does not mean it is junk. The reason we put the snorkeling equipment on sale is for numerous reasons, the manufacturer discontinued the snorkel gear or a color was discontinued or it was a slow seller for us.

And for those who are really on a budget, check out our used snorkel gear on sale.

To all of our snorkelers who will be jumping in the water in the next 30 days, have fun and be safe!
