If these pictures do not make you want to grab your snorkel mask, snorkel and snorkeling fins, nothing will.
Cheapflights.com put together a list of the top beaches that celebrities go to… (and we found it on the ABC News) why am I writing about this on a snorkeling blog? Because the underwater world off of the beaches have great snorkeling. How do I know? I have had the opportunity to visit the 6 out of 10 beaches.

This video is a scuba diver was was diving with his underwater video camera and an octopus stole it while the video was still playing. Of course the diver chased the octo and got his video camera back. Grab you snorkel gear and sit back and enjoy!
What do you do when a 40 ton whale lands on your yacht? Well if you are this South African couple, I guess all you could do was blubber.
When I showed this to a friend when it appeared on MSN.com, she noticed the the boat owner appeared in different clothing when the boat was at the dock. I calmly told her that if a 40 ton whale suddenly breached and landed on my boat I am sure that I would have to change my clothes too.
Read the story about the whale out of water and check out the pictures. The entire story appears at the following link. It is really a blessing that neither the whale or the boat owners were injured during the incident.
I am a big fan of Carrie Underwood and congratulations on her recent wedding to Mike Fisher. They are on their honeymoon in Tahiti on the island of Bora Bora and they are snorkeling. People want to know, did you rent or purchase their snorkeling equipment? To read more about Carrie & Mikes snorkeling adventures, go to People Magazine.
We often get asked what our most popular snorkeling package is. Do we go by sales? Or should we go by the snorkelers who used the snorkel gear… lets go read a few reviews. The U.S. Divers Sideview Mask, Paradise Dry Snorkel, the Trek Fins and it comes with a neoprene strap, fish food and the Coast bag so lets read a few reviews….
We bought the U.S. Divers Sideview Mask, Paradise Dry Snorkel, Trek Travel Fins, Strap & Bag for a trip to the Caribbean so we would not have to rent equipment. Glad we did since this is very nice quality gear. Comes in travel bag that is ventilated so equipment can dry out even when stowed in the bag. Mask is nice (better viewing under water), snorkel is terrific and does not let in water if you dive below water level, and fins are compact for travel, but work very well. Highly recommend purchasing this equipment rather than renting junk if you go on vacation!

I used the U.S. Divers Sideview Mask, Paradise Dry Snorkel, Trek Travel Fins, Strap & Bag on an 8 day trip to Aruba and it was excellent. The snorkel was the best part. I like to dive down and the snorkel doesn’t let any water in so you don’t have to blow out any water when you come back up. Also in rough water, you don’t have to worry about choking when the waves go over your snorkel. The Trek Travel Fins are also a lot easier to use than the full sized ones and they propel you plenty fast.

I bought my husband this for Christmas and we went Snorkeling the next day. It was REALLY nice! The bag was really handy and nice. I bought a cheaper set for myself and was disappointed. He really liked the set and the fins were comfortable made with soft rubber around the feet and the mask and snorkel were excellent quality. I wish I would have bought this set for myself.

A bunch of strangers decided to go snorkeling nude at the Base Magnetic Island Hostel in Australia. They tried to break the Guiness World Record but did not reach the 100 willing participants. I thought you might enjoy the picture, but to see more go to Asylum.com or TopNews.com.
