Nha Trang snorkelling pics

[tang daddy]

I just got back from Vietnam 1 week ago and had an amazing time there. While it was very hot there, the food, amazing diving, culture and people made this trip one of the best and most memorable out of all the places I have previously travelled....

We started off in Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon where it was bustling with people and motorcycles. Infact that's all you saw which is quite a shock because I thought Vancouver was a busy city but that was very minor compared to HCMC...

After a few days getting settled in we left on a short plane ride to a mountainous city where the weather was a cool 20c, our next stop was Nha Trang where I finally got to dive and snorkle and luckilly grabbed a few pics before my camera battery died....

The pics are alittle dark as I didnt adjust any settings and wanted to snap as many pics before the camera died....

Going past some smaller islands about 20mins from the beach at Nha Trang were some 30-40 floating docks apparently they were growing out lobsters and fishes... I thought it was oyster farms??





next stop was the island we were going to dive at...


I have to admit I bought this camera for the sole purpose of sticking it in my tank to take some pics of my coral but was scared and never did, especially after reading a few stories that the camera leaked I wussed out...

The camera is a Olympus stylus tough 12mp and good 33ft in water. these first pics was me trying to get some shots without sticking it in the water... as you can see they didnt turn out well!!




Then I thought to myself, you bought this camera to take underwater "Be a man, do the right fing"

So I put on snorkels wrapped the camera strap tight around my wrist and dove in.






Alot of the variety were a brown colour but there were lots of pinks, blues, neon green and yellows. As I had mentioned before my batteries were low so I just set the camera to underwater wide and started snapping...
