bonaire

I forgot I had this video and I cracked up laughing again, after I watched it. I had the pleasure of taking 2 new snorkelers (who have never been in the water before) and I had a blast teaching them to snorkel.

As I follow them around with my video, in their brand new snorkel equipment both were so amazed with the underwater world, they were not paying attention to where they were going and BAMMMM… they crash. (no one was hurt.)

Now most have said that I did not warn them since I saw it coming but to tell the truth, it happened so fast that I didnt have the chance. The only thing I am sorry is that I did not let the video continue to run because the 3 of us laughed so hard… well after day one, they never crashed again.


Snorkeling in Bonaire!

by Cathy on June 1, 2008

I love to travel! And I can not imagine a vacation not in the water. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to go to the island of Bonaire, a dutch island, in the caribbean. I went with 8 friends who were scuba divers and a few were beach lovers. From Chicago, our day of traveling was a long one, but that is the costs of paradise. We stayed in the 2 bedroom condos at Captain Dons Habitat and it was on the water and perfect.

As the days went on and to my disbelief, I was surprised that there were 2 people who never snorkeled, that I was traveling with. Being in the snorkel industry, I always carry some extra snorkeling gear with me, hoping to show willing people the underwater world… so our snorkeling adventures started.

We go off to the beach and before we started snorkeling, I asked Tim & Melissa to help me with a video for the Snorkeling Guides, How To Defog Your Snorkeling Mask and we had fun putting it together. Then we donned our snorkeling gear and walked in the water. After observing the water conditions and a few basic directions, we were off. I used the video recorder (I use The Flip Video Recorder with underwater housing) for the first time and had a blast with it.

Tim & Melissa were so engrosed in the underwater world, well, well… look for yourself.
