Looks pretty black down there. - Probably why they couldn't find anything.

I think this will work. http://www.flickr.com/photos/65817676@N05/
Well, I hope it does because they are fantastic photos. They remind me of the late 50's TV program by Anns and Lotte Ass ( I hope that the correct spelling :-))
Thats amazing, Ann has posted at the same time so please ignore the link above.

I have seen the orange snorkel and the flippers at work around the jetty.

Nan, so calming and beautiful, but I'm sure Thomas has served me a few of those fishies for my dinner on more than one occasion, feel awful now.

So thats what you were doing the morning we had a chat in the sea...lol
Was good to meet you there Ann. but noticing me from the back of my head when in Amourada how did you do that.
Was good to meet up, perhaps again next year.
-
Ha ha John it was your lovely Dot that I recognised not your head!
It was a really blissful two weeks I must admit. I swam in the sea twice a day but kept out of it from 11 till 3pm cos I do burn so easily.
It was lovely to see your little grandson enjoying the beach aswell. I could tell they will be back to Arillas one day.
Met so many special people this time who all made me feel welcome which is so much appreciated when you travel on your own.
Thanks for your kind comments I'm sure we will meet again in that happy place
Cheers John love to Dot

Those are beautiful pictures! may i have a question how did you do them? special camera or only a box? I'm considering buying plastic bag for my camera for September to be able to post some underwater photos too! but I'm not sure about quality as the bag costs about 25€ :).

Hi xkrchnav
Nice to see you post about my photos. Thanks for you comments. I have an older version of the camera above and as you can see it comes with it's own little "diving case" for underwater use. It is a normal camera and you can use it as such. It's not too expensive and the shots are reasonable.
I bought mine to go to the Maldives I remember we spoke about swimming with the baby sharks!!! Now is your little baby now? Hope you are all well and hope to see you in September!
Best wishes Nan x

Great pics Nan, I do enjoy a good snorkel (why does that sound rude lol) my best Greek one was going from the beach at Cape Sounion right across to under Poisidons Temple seeing the anciant greek artifacts - mainly broken Urns etc was amazing and I get totally lost in time and sea depth its so peaceful.
The best snorkel of all was Langkawi Malasyia - now that was like swimming in an aquarium - only one scary moment when I saw a shark several feet below - I can remember trying to say "shark" with the snorkel in my mouth - silly me how did I think anyone could hear me.
Must buy a snorkel on my June visit next year and take the plunge
Many thanks again Nan

They are lovely, Nan, thanks xx

Nice and really not expensive camera. I'm considering this bag:
http://www.aquapac.net/worldstore/water-photo-large-859-0.html
But... it's almost the same price as your camera... So I really don't know now...
See you in September!
-
What do you think about this one?
http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/default.asp?newsID=4083&review=fujifilm+finepix+z33wp
available in Czech shops too... therefore I'm posting this :). Vivicam would have to be from ebay...
-
So glad you can get the fujifilm finepix in Czech republic I would go with this one!
Dimitris recommended this to me a while ago and he has had some very good results with it.
To be honest I don't know anything about the photo bag??? Maybe someone else on the forum can tell you more.
I will look forward to seeing you all in September.
Cheers Nan x

Thank you for the lovely photographs.Snorkelling is something I have always wanted to do but despite many years of school swimming lessons I seem to be one of these people who no matter how hard I try seem to naturally sink.
I will just have to be content managing from to swim from one side of the Marvel pool to the other and admiring the great pictures posted here.

you would be surprised at how easy it is!
Buy yourself a snorkel from one of the shops in Arillas and have a go in the pool first. All you have to remember is keep breathing through your mouth into the snorkel IN and OUT.
Don't forget to put your mask on (like I did more than once) and just put your face in the water to start off with and breathe!! You don't really have to swim until you get used to it. When you feel ready just float off and practise breathing.
When you try in the sea you need calm conditions but it's just the same. Look down at your feet and there will be fish swimming around them! It really isn't that difficult you just need the confidence to have a go.
I couldn't wear the little goggles they were no good for me but the mask is so much clearer and so long as you get all your hair out of the seal it shouldn't let in any water.
If it's something you've always wanted to to you should TRY it and amaze yourself you WILL do it. When are you at the Marvel sometime soon? Have a good time.
Cheers Nan x

Nan,wish we were going to be there soon but missed this year due a family wedding and have just booked a cruise-well a mini one- for our 25th anniversary next year.Meanwhile I can still have my daily fix of news,gossip and sunshine thanks to everyone on the forum.
-
I'm almost decided... We'll go for the aquapac :). It's more than 3x cheaper than waterproof camera. And that camera wouldn't be still good quality as I'd like.
-
I just love your photos too, Nan. You make snorkeling sound so easy, I may even have to give it a try myself!
Thanks love,
lynn xx
