In the last post I mentioned that I took a some video of a large school of fish. Here is that video. There were some fisherman there with throw nets, so the fish were a bit agitated and moving around quite a bit. I added some music and I think it turned out pretty well. It’s amazing how much it changes the feel of the video.

Enjoy.

Today’s adventure took me to a beach I have named as “Slow Down Beach” because of the sign that tells you to “slow down”.

When we first got in the water there was a large school of small fish. I took some video and will post later. The weather was great and as we got further out on the reef the water got clearer. We were even able to see a large grouper before it dashed away.

Unfortunately, on the swim back the screen on my camera stopped working. It is usual to get some fogging, but it looked more substantial than usual. Upon returning home I opened the battery department to find it flooded and the battery dripping acid. I was disappointed, but the good news is that I should have a new camera pretty soon. I will have video camera on the way shortly, but if you have any recommendations for another good digital camera that can be used under the water I would love to hear your recommendations,

After the beach we went to another to Ingya Marine Gardens, a protected water park. The below picture is from the very top looking down.
