I was reading about both snorkel gear and underwater cameras, and there are so many choose from. I was hoping for some real people advice.While your here... any advice on trips to Maui would be great too! Thanks (I WILL choose the best answer!)


Answer
You can buy a decent snorkel set from Sam's Club or Costco. Yes, we have both wholesale retailers on the island of Oahu. You can get snorkels, goggles and fins for around $50-$60 (as a set). There are also a lot of places that rent snorkels, but I wouldn't trust them. If you plan to buy snorkels, etc. here, I would suggest either wholesale retailer. We also have Sports Authority (overpriced) and a shop called McCully Bike & Sporting Good. Whatever you do ... avoid buying sporting goods in Waikiki. Waikiki is one large tourist trap. Venture a little further and you'll save a lot.

Also, if you are on the island of Oahu, try snorkeling at Hanauma Bay on the east side of the island. I don't know too much about digital cameras, but Kodak just came out with the Kodak Playsport Digital Camcorder and it has some pretty rave reviews. The other plus, it's only $150 + or - a few bucks, and it is waterproof up to 10 feet deep.

I don't know too much about Maui. It's sad, but we islanders don't always travel far. I heard they have a rope course where you can jet down the valley. Another touristy options...visiting Haleakala. Sorry I can't help much in this department.

Which underwater camera is the best?

Q. I'm really looking into getting an underwater camera.
I want one that is not very expensive, but great quality.
I have narrowed my options to two choices ...

1.) fujifilm finepix xp10
2.) fujifilm finepix z33wp.

for those of you who are camera 'experts',
can you PLEASE help me out.

what is a good valued underwater camera?!

I appreciate your answers,

Dee Byrd.
