As our snorkeling safaris take place in some of the world's most biodiverse marine ecosystems, home to creatures that are colorful, beautiful, and unique—many of which you've never seen before —it can be overwhelming to know where to point your camera.

With this method, you'll surely capture some images of unique creatures, you might even garner the attention of your snorkeling friends on Facebook, awarding you momentary fame amongst the snorkeling digital community.

Cuttlefish Cuttlefish are a little bit hard to find, but once you find one, and if it's patient, you can spend hours taking photos of them.
