Under Water Rock Formations at Parker Island

Rattlesnake Gal · 09-27-2007, 06:49 PM

Last year I finally got off my island and did a little snorkeling around Parker Island. We were absolutely thrilled with what we saw and I have been working on finding a way to share this lake fun with you ever since. First I purchased an Aquapac camera case, which turned out to be a bit too snug for my first little digital, a HP720. A few weeks ago I realized the water temps were dropping and I had to get busy. Rattlesnake Guy, being the wonderful man he is, took me to Wal-Mart where we picked up a very inexpensive Vivitar camera. (About $20) The next day we were lucky to have a sunny day without too many waves, so we got our dive flag and headed over to Parker Island. These pictures were taken just slightly northwest of the island. I am not a diver, I just take a deep breath, dive under and take the shot and swim on to the next area. We had no idea how they would come out, but I filled the camera and hoped for the best. I ended up with over 70 reasonably good photos and believe it or not, there are many spots I didn’t get to photograph, maybe next year. I hope you enjoy them I had an absolutely wonderful time taking them. Thank you very much Rattlesnake Guy for indulging me, you’re the best!

Do you have any ideas of where a gal can snorkel and get some good underwater pictures next year? Thanks!
