I picked up an underwater camera this weekend and dusted off my snorkeling gear. The single digit fidget is kicking in bad and I really really really need my Jamaica fix. 2 more sleeps and we are in the air!!
Have a GREAT TRIP CRUSHER!!
We also packed up yesterday and also found the snorkel gear, have a underwater camera left from last year that we will for sure use this year, 2 more sleeps for us also
I bought a digital camera this year so I plan on making some movies and taking some pics. Should be a fun time! :)
Day behind you buddy... see you there..
I'll be looking for "the house" on the beach. :)
We're doing the single digit figit too! Be there on Sunday!
7 sleeps for me, arriving on Bob's birthday. I wish someone would just knock me out until then, it is crawling by too slow.
Orchid I find that the webcasts got me through the weekend. I would suggest them as therapy. I am so looking forward to hitting the beach! :)
I agree Crusher...but I am currently without a computer at home (just my ipod to check the board out), and when I try to access the webcasts from work (bad girl...), I get a text box that states in large red letters: ACCESS DENIED.
I agree, can't wait to be on the beach, only 1 week in Jamaica this time, shortest trip ever, but better than a kick in the head!
I soo hear you on the time moving slow, we land on the 4th and time is crawling, cant wait to celebrate my (and Bob's) birthday in Negril on monday!Quote:

Here is a great deal on an inexpensive digital underwater camera. Less than $64! You can't beat it for the money. It takes video also.
I actually use this exact camera myself and have had it as deep as 90 feet without issues. The online reviews are mixed but I think for the money this camera can't be beat. Just be sure to buy rechargeable batteries.

I bought a Canon D10...I am a photographer in my spare time and a Canon Fan Boy. I didn't want to cart my digital SLR's down this year but wanted to do something fun. I got it for like a hundred bucks off as the local dealer had it on sale. Its a 12 mega pixel and takes video as well as pictures.
The Canon D10 is a great camera and perfect for snorkeling. For scuba though it is only limited to 33 feet which isnt deep enough for my purposes. I have no doubt it takes great photos though.
Yeah I haven't made the leap to Scuba just yet so it was perfect for my needs.
I just picked up an Olympus Tough for my snorkeling pics. My buddy in St. Croix has had one for a few years and loves it. After my episode in Belize last year it was time for a digital. I accidentally ruined the film that had my pics of me swimming with the sharks. I was sooo bummed.
My friend had her D10 with us in Jamaica last year....but I broke my leg before I could take advantage of it....we got some really nice stuff in 2010 though....
Have an awesome time in Negril, Crusher!!:D
Mr. Twister - thanks for sharing that link to the affordable underwater camera. I can't believe it can take movies too! That's exactly what we've been looking for!
Oh Clarity....I'm working on an EPIC time in Negril this year! :)

We loved ours. Went snorkeling with Vincent.
That is a real bummer! The same thing happened to me in Belize. My camera flooded after I took photos of mating Eagle Rays and my film got ruined. No more film cameras for me...lolQuote:
