Snorkeling The Grand Turk Wall

Our final excursion was today. We ventured not too far from the cruise ship off the coast of Grand Turk to the Grand Turk Wall. The water was in amazingly clear. So clear you could easily see to the bottom which was about 30 feet. Well, 30 feet before the wall which is a 7,000 foot drop. That’s right over a 1 mile straight down. The dark area you see in the video, is that drop! I would return to snorkel here in a heart beat!! I had so much fun. Too many people snorkeling in the exact same spot, but the views were breathtaking.

Snorkeling in Dominican Republic

Today we made port in Amber Cove, Dominican Republic. We had another two part excursion today, shallow water snorkeling off a sand bar and then lunch at Fricolandia. The snorkeling was fun, but even the shallow water was pretty rough. The views under the crystal clear water were amazing. So many beautiful fish and a beautiful coral reef. Snorkeling was one of the primary reasons for going on the cruise, and while it was a very long trip to get there; I definitely had fun. I got some pretty cool under water video as well.

Shot this video using a DJI Osmo Action 3 and edited using the iOS app, LightCut. The Action 3 did a great job and I didn’t even use a waterproof housing. First time using it underwater, so I’m definitely not proficient yet. Probably won’t be before the end of the cruise.
