TP - Marc's and Bruno's tour questions

[emang]

Hello,

 

I am booked for both of these tours and had some questions.

 

I always bring my own snorkel gear, should I bring the fins for these tours or just plan on reef shoes. It sounds like at times the fins might be cumbersome in the shallows.

 

Are cameras safe? I have an underwater digital, but would like to bring a video camera & an SLR, neither of which would be tolerant of water.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Jeff,

We did both tours in March. I would take fins just in case. Kathy who was on our boat had these really cool short fins. I think she got them at Costco. We had non waterproof cameras and video and it was just fine. Enjoy

Actually with fins I found that it was very easy to negotioate the coral and NOT HIT ANYTHING. I did drift snokel with my two daughters. None of us got a scratch. People without fins were stuck and had trouble getting thru. We actually had enough time that we did the narrow pass at Tahaa twice.

I buy those disposable underwater cameras-they are cheap and take good pictures

Jeff,

 

Glad you asked that question as I was thinking the same thing!

 

So, if I am understanding the responses, we can bring our video camera and it should be safe (I'm assuming it's left on the catamaran with our stuff)??

I bought some long velcro straps and I used them to lash my camera to the seat in the boat so that while I was in the water, it wouldn't fall off the seat and land in the puddles in the boat. They worked great.

When we take our video or digital camera on any water tours, I always take along a couple waterproof bags to store them in. Just in case it rains or things get a bit rough. Better to be safe than sorry!
