Trying out the underwater camera!

I bought an underwater camera to take on our trip to Belize (in less than 2 weeks!) because we'll be doing a tonne of SCUBA diving and snorkeling. We did a refresher session in the pool here so we're ready to dive in Belize and I took my camera along to play with it. It was so much fun! I really need to get up close and personal with whatever I'm taking a picture of though :) Disclaimer: No one looks attractive in a wetsuit and scuba gear, lol!

Also, the camera is a Canon A540 with the Canon underwater housing. It can go down to 130'. I bought both used on Ebay for just over $200, so I think I got a pretty good deal!

Newfoundland!

So I went to St. John's Newfoundland waaaaaay back in November and I'm finally posting my pics! I had a great trip (for school) and I really enjoyed it there. I had some good weather too (apparently a bit unusual for that part of the country). But right now things are super crazy as I'm finishing a paper to submit for publication, writing my PhD thesis, writing my applications for a genetic counselling MSc program and finalizing plans for a trip to Belize at the end of this month! Keep posted for those pics in February!
