This was taken with my new Canon PowerShot G10 camera and Canon WP-DC28 underwater housing. It took a week to get somewhat familar with all the controls and buttons and knobs.
However by the end of my vacation I was able to capture moments like this free diving with an very buoyant housing. I need to get the weights to help make the camera neutrally buoyant.
Aloha, we all made it back from Maui, Hawaii in one piece. I think I speak for all that went (Kathlene, Karla, Krista, Kirk) we are none too pleased to be back on the mainland.
Vacations no matter how long they are, they never seem long enough. It felt like yesterday we were on our way to Hawaii. Unfortunately all good things come to an end and so did our Maui vacation.
If you didn't know and you may not really care I have a travel blog on TravelPod.com. If anyone is interested to read more about our trip you can follow this link to the My TravelPod Blog.
Here is a little video I shot on Saturday our last full day on Maui. I had been snorkeling earlier in the day at Black Rock Point with Kathlene and Krista. During that snorkel session we saw some Green Sea Turtles. The turtles had surfaced for air while we were there.
I decide I would go for one last snorkel session during the evening before dinner. I walked to Black Rock and slipped into the water at 5:30 PM. I was the only person in the water.
I swam over to where I had last seen the turtles earlier in the day. I was pleased to see that one turtle was in his little hidy hole.
Now I would just wait for him to surface for air, which could be a 30 minute wait. Fortunately I only had to wait about five minutes. The turtle surfaced and then proceeded swim along the face of Black Rock...
I will let the video tell the rest of the story. I hope you can enjoy it half as much as I did filming it.
