Provided the hurricanes doesn't wipe out Cozumel and Grand Cayman, can you help me with tips on snorkeling in water 10-15ft? I have seen different types of masks and snorkels, some with caps on top. I just want to conserve energy and get the best experience I possibly can. How are disposable underwater cameras?
* Miranda and JoeD thanks so much!
* Cloud G you need to find something better to do with your saturday nights!
* DickJones Excellent info, you are almost neck and neck with Derick.
* Mo> good idea about giving my gear to the local kids. I was already considering buying my own gear on ebay. Thanks!
* tech3surfman> preesh 8 it! You were all very helpful and I am getting really excited about my trip.

I just went snorkeling in Key West, it was pretty cool.
Snorkeling's fun and not hard to figure out once you get in the water. You'll have a mask on your face that covers your eyes and nose. The snorkel is just a tube that hooks on the side of your goggles. One end goes in your mouth and has little rubber prongs for you to bite and keep it in your mouth(don't bite through them). The other end stays above water if your floating face down.
They'll probably have some kind of defogger for you, but a good idea is that once you get in the water you leave the mask on your face. Taking it off and on gets more moisture in it and makes it fog up easier.
You'll have flippers on, when you kick, you kick in a scissor motion with stiff knees. Like you're trying to push the water behind you with your flippers.
You'll probably have some kind of floatation vest called a boyancy compensator. Which is basically an air filled(or not) life vest which you can blow into for some extra floatation, or keep it flat if you like to dive down a lot.
So basically you just float in the water face down and kick around a look at stuff while breathing through your snorkel. Dive down here and there to check out things up close.
When you resurface after diving down you can just blow the water out of you snorkel by sort of speaking a "Teh" sound into the snorkel. This is much quicker than taking your head out of the water and dumping the snorkel. Just practice and you'll figure it out.
At the one we went to we were instructed to not swim through water less than 7 feet deep so large waves wouldn't make us bob down onto the rocks and coral.
I didn't have any luck with the underwater disposable camera I used.

21 THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOUR 21
1.) TAKE A ROAD TRIP.
Mapping the route, singing at the top of your lungs, and discovering new towns with friends is the ultimate bonding experience.
2.) LEARN TO PLAY A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.
I can play only a few chords, but I love the expressive power of music--and the possibility that one day you can learn to create something beautiful through it.
3.) GO SKINNY-DIPPING!
It's the most liberating thing ever. You have to let go of your insecurities when you take off your clothes. But you're hidden by the water--so it's like bending the rules. Who decided we have to wear clothes anyway?
4.) SAVE $1,000.
Just seeing that big number in your bank account is rewarding --knowing you did it alone.
5.) KNOW YOUR GRANDPARENTS.
Ask them (or your parents) about their lives at your age. You might be shocked by how much insight they have--and the crazy things they did!
6.) BUY A LOTTERY TICKET.
But just one. Everyone should take one-million-to-one shot in their lives--it's fun to dream such a big and outrageous dream.
7.) WIN AN AWARD.
It doesn't matter if it's a contest for role models or pie-eating--you can be the best at something. And there's no fulfillment quite like everyone else knowing it too.
8.) SAY "I LOVE YOU".
It takes courage to be vulnerable. But it's the only way to create the possibility that someone will love you back the way you deserve.
9.) LEARN TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT.
You never know when you'll get into a situation where you may need to know how. Plus, in terms of gas, these cars are better on your wallet.
10.) MILK A COW.
I was terrified to do it, but conquering this small thing helped me do even bigger scary stuff.
11.) FORGIVE SOMEONE.
A girl wrote "b****" on my locker when I was 16, and it always ate away at me inside. But when I made amends with her, the bad feelings evaporated.
12.) HAVE YOUR FORTUNE TOLD.
Sure, it's kind of silly. But doing it is really a reminder that in the end, only you hold the power to chart your own destiny.
13.) GO TO A DRIVE-IN.
Seriously the best place on earth! Where else can you watch a movie, get a great burger, talk and walk around with friends, and see the stars--all at the same time?
14.) DO YOUR OWN LAUNDRY.
It's the first step on the long (but gratifying) road to independence.
15.) RIDE A HORSE.
Okay, it might sound cheesy, but when you connect with this animal and the wind blows through your hair, it's the closest feeling to real freedom.
16.) DONATE YOUR FORMAL DRESS.
You'll give someone the chance to be a princess for one night. (And yes, it's okay to feel like one!)
17.) SEE THE OCEAN.
I felt so small next to this huge, timeless thing--and it inspired me to make the most of my life.
18.) WAITRESS ATLEAST ONCE.
Serving someone is humbling, plus it teaches you how to communicate and multitask--two skills you'll use forever.
19.) SEE ONE THING THAT IS "THE WORLD'S LARGEST"
Even if it's just a frying pan--at least it can be your temporary claim to fame!
20.) LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
Going to England, I realized how narrow my world really was--and that travel was the best way I could expand it.
21.) LEARN TO LOVE YOUR BODY.
I'm just now starting to feel perfect as I am because I have knobby knees and moles--not in spite of them.
