Cozumel Snorkeling - Columbia Shallows and Palancar Reef

Hi Jim, fantastic video and well filmed (the music works so well!) I really enjoyed it, especially seeing the variety of marine life in the shallow water. It was great seeing the eel venture out from its hiding spot. Did you do any scuba diving whilst you were there? which one was the best site? Thanks for sharing this video! if you have time, please check out my freediving c hannel, I dive in Australia, showcasing the local marine life there

Thanks Manny! I didn't do any scuba diving this trip, last time I tried it ended with a visit to the doctor for an ear problem. You've made some great videos, freediving looks like a blast.

Hi Jim we are going there in a couple months. We were thinking about doing the night snorkel. Did you enjoy it? Was it worth doing? I'm assuming you didn't have much footage because of holding the camera and flashlight at the same time isn't easy.

I've never done a night snorkel so it was fun to try but we didn't see much. I think the money is be better spent going in the day.

Great video, I was also at the Iberostar earlier in the year an snorkeled the same reefs. Can I ask what your settings were on your camera? My videos didn't come out near as good. Filters? Protune? Editor color correction? Thanks! I'm going back next month!

I used two cameras, a Gopro 5 black and Olympus TG4. For the Gopro I used the snorkel filter and the Olympus on the Underwater setting. No color correction in post.

Thanks for answering! I have a hero4 and just bought a snorkel filter. Hopefully I'll get some good clips! The count down begins, going in 3 weeks. LoL
