    Disney Fantasy Cruise | Western Caribbean | Snorkeling in Cozumel!

    PHOTO INFO:  All photos on this page were taken with the Canon D20 underwater digital camera.   Unfortunately, near the end of our trip, the microphone stopped working when using the camera for video.  A few months later, when we loaned the camera to our friends to take on their own Disney cruise, it died entirely.  We had recently purchased the camera and our cruise was the first time we used it, but Canon was fantastic with offering us a full replacement!  We haven't tested our new one underwater yet, but if we have any issues we'll be sure to edit this post and let everyone know!

    Originally, we had planned to spend our day at Grand Cayman in the water, since we read that you don't even need to book a snorkel excursion to see some amazing things.  Unfortunately, since that port was cancelled,  our plans needed to change! But still Grand Cayman is the best one, there are a lot of things to do in grand cayman. So when everything is well will pursue our plan of spending a day in the Island.

    Luckily, the evening before we arrived in Cozumel, Matt and his dad were able to pick up a last minute booking on the Three Reef Snorkel excursion   The excursion takes you to three different snorkeling spots that may include  Paraiso Bajo, Paraiso Profundo and Dzul Ha.   Since we'd already been on one paid excursion, I decided to save a little dough and stay behind to shop with the moms and my dad.

    disney-fantasy-cruise-western-caribbean-snorkeling-in-cozumel-13 I'm impressed with the complexity of this underwater pose!  Full marks to Matt's dad, full marks.

    disney-fantasy-cruise-western-caribbean-snorkeling-in-cozumel-16The guide carried an underwater camera with a flash unit, and the fish schooled around him like crazy.

    disney-fantasy-cruise-western-caribbean-snorkeling-in-cozumel-17I think the guide was taking a picture of Matt's dad?

    disney-fantasy-cruise-western-caribbean-snorkeling-in-cozumel-19I am in love with these pictures.  There's a scuba excursion that uses the same area as the snorkelers, and I loved these vertical shots Matt got that show the snorkelers near the surface, the scuba divers at the bottom, and the pillars of bubbles rising to the top! It is like the molokini snorkel tour which you can also try if you want to experience it too.

      So that's how underwater pictures with the D20 turn out! 😉 Great photos! Love the ones of Matt and his Dad underwater too. Glad it worked out with Canon replacing the camera.
