Rays, Reef, and Rum Point excursion

[ccb123]

Hi, We are doing the Rays, Reef, and Rum Point excursion through Native way, I am looking to buy a camera for the excursion. What maximum depth do you reach when you snorkel? The two choices I have are 10ft or 33ft and the price difference is substantial and this is the only excursion we will be doing that will require an waterproof camera. Thank you.

We did this excursion June of last year and had an amazing time. We took the disposable camera's from Wal-mart and they took beautiful pictures. I would think the 10 ft one would be fine. The sand bar with the sting rays is only waist high and the other spot were we snorkeled was probably no more than 10.

Does anyone know about life jackets for snorkeling. Possibly even adult ones? I know, I know but I enjoy looking at the fish while floating on the surface and looking at the coral I'm not too big on going down deep or sinking deep. I also have two daughters who have never snorkeled but are great swimmers here at home

Yes they do provide life jackets. They were very light (not the big bulky ones) and worked great. Didn't need them for the sting rays as most can easily stand in waist deep water, but did use them at the snorkeling stop.:)

Yes, the 10 ft will be fine. I had purchased the Kodak under water cameras for a previous trip and didn't like the quality. Maybe the store brand would have been better.:)

Hi there...Just an FYI...we are on the Ruby Princess right now....and I am really disappointed....we went down to get the tender to go on this excursion and they have cancelled it....we were told that we have to leave the port earlier due to something weather related....looks good outside to me....maybe they are right but still...so we are left with nothing to do....so have a back up plan!!!!!!!!:eek:
