An extreme shallow snorkeling expedition requires the proper equipment, particularly if it is to be properly documented. Here is a photo of some of the gear we are bringing with us:
In addition to our underwater photography and video gear, it’s important to have tools and supplies should unexpected needs arise. In our case, items like giant rubber bands and electric tape are a must. In order to scout potential E.S.S. locations we bring binoculars, and to get a closer look at micro-life, magnifying glasses. We have underwater flashlights for night dives and a blinking reflector for safety. Walkie-talkies can be essential for communication, particularly if the team splits up for reconnaissance (and compasses come in handy to ascertain our position). We also bring our official Fruits de Mer rubber stamp to mark official documents.
The photo above is also posted on flickr, with annotations describing the tools of our trade.
We look forward to inaugurating our on location posting when we depart for St. Martin this Saturday. Hopefully the WiFi there has improved since last time!
The site is shaping up day by day, but we’re still under construction at the moment. Lots more to follow. I also just added a forum, feel free to test it out!
Les Fruits de Mer were recently featured on the Coconut Tree Divers blog. We would like to thank them for helping us spread the word about Extreme Shallow Snorkeling, and we look forward to diving with them again soon!
The book now has it’s own web site at http://www.sxmwildlife.com.
Les Fruits de Mer are currently preparing for a return trip to St. Martin in February of 2009. The itinerary currently calls for a combination of E.S.S. and scuba diving, along with various culinary investigations while topside.
