Twenty-twenty-two was a big year for a lot of reasons. It marked the end of the global lockdown that plagued us all and allowed countries like Indonesia, Egypt, The Philippines, Palau, Honduras, French Polynesia, Fiji, and Cuba to once again welcome visitors into their beautiful oceans!

Twenty-twenty-two was also our biggest year since we launched in 2018. Even though many of the countries we run snorkeling safaris to were not open at the beginning of the year, we still managed to successfully run 31 tours with 520 snorkeling guests, in 10 different countries! I believe we’ve said this before, but we can’t thank you enough for sticking by us as we all bushwhacked our way through that rough patch. It’s only a few more weeks before our 2023 tours begin in February, and we can’t wait to welcome you all back as we kick the new year off with a big splash in Belize, Raja Ampat, and Halmahera!

Here are Just Some of the Best Moments of 2o22

With all the tours wrapped up for 2022 and the next ones starting in February, our Video and Photo Pro Alex Lindbloom has finally had a minute to go through the hundreds of gigabytes of footage he captured while on tour and has edited a quick little recap of just some of the snorkeling highlights from the last year.

Hey Y'all. I'm Snorkel Venture's Destination Manager and Video and Photo Pro. Prior to joining Snorkel Venture in 2018, I lived and worked all over the world, working as an underwater cameraman, with five of those years spent living/working on a liveaboard in Indonesia. I live and breathe underwater film and photo, and snorkeling is my most preferred method of documenting the beauty of the underwater world! I've been fortunate to have been able to have my work displayed on networks such as Netflix, NatGeo, and the Discovery Channel, while my photos have been on hosted in a number of exhibitions around the world, including the UN Building in New York, the Gasometer in Germany, and the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi, along with a handful of magazines.
