Snorkeling at St. Andrews State Park

We did some snorkeling at St. Andrews State Park jetties. My video isn't perfect, it was my first time with a camera underwater. However, it does show what's underneath at the "kiddie pool".

The Jetty Store has masks, fins, and snorkels for rent or sale. I highly recommend doing this, my daughter and her friend consider it the highlight of the vacation.

Great video Rex - thanks for sharing! I agree about snorkling at the jetties... lots of fun and fairly easy for anyone to do (on the kiddie pool side)

What kind of camera did you use? I noticed a few people at Shipwreck Island recently with waterproof video cameras and thought about adding one to my wish list.

Thanks. It's actually a refurbed Sony miniDV camcorder from Ritz with a Sony SportsPack underwater housing. It worked well and I'm looking forward to next time!

Went snorkeling after the BP oil spill.

Original post at the top of this thread updated with a new video shot July 22, 2010.
I was curious as to how it would be due to the tarballs washing into the St. Andrews State Park kiddie pool in mid-June. I looked and looked and I couldn't find a single speck of anything oil spill related.
