Trip to atlantis in bahamas

[Pico1]

I finally got all my pictures and videos uploaded from when I went to atlantis in the bahamas last month. They are home to the world's largest open air marine aquarium. I also got to do some snorkeling/diving while I was there. Sorry their not great quality, it was my first shot at underwater photography/video.

Here is the snorkeling video

im about to go to the atlantis ive been snorkeling in various places when i was younger but this is my first trip since ive been in the hobby. do they give scuba lessons there or would it be better to get licensed before you go.

any other advice for stuf i need to check out before you go.

I went to the Atlantis 2 years ago and it was the best week of my life. Unfortunately I didnt do any scuba diving but I did a lot of snorkeling. It was soooo much fun. A little tip, stay at the hotel right next to the Atlantis. You can go to the Atlantis resort whenever you want and the smaler hotel is about 1/4 the cost.

Camera - Canon S50 w Canon U/W housing, Sea & Sea YS25 strobe via fiber optic cable and INON wide angle lens. Generally use AV setting, ISO 100, Cloudy, RAW & JPEG formats.

Camera shots came out much better than past trips contributed to the use of the wide angle lens.

Pictures developed and slideshow created using Adobe Lightroom.

Did you get to see them feed the piranha? I ended up getting out of bed at 5am one morning because that's when they were feeding them that week...

It was amazing.

Conch bisque - out of this world! Oh - and great diving too!
