<p>Steve Miller once proclaimed &#8220;everything&#8217;s better when wet,&#8221; (see <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKHcxzHRtkU" target="_blank">&#8220;Jungle Love&#8221;</a>), and, as <a href="http://www.snorkeling.info/snorkeling-basics/index.html" target="_blank">snorkeling enthusiasts</a>, we&#8217;d have to agree. Except when it comes to computers.</p>
<p>Now, due in no doubt to the <a href="http://www.snorkeling.info" target="_blank">overwhelming demand</a> (what&#8217;s the text format for sarcasm?) for a tablet you can take underwater, we&#8217;ve got <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/yes-this-tablet-is-submerged-in-a-tank-of-water-and-working-perfectly-2012-1" target="_blank">this</a>.</p>

<p>We all love <a href="http://www.snorkeling.info" target="_blank">reef fish</a>. But most prefer to see them in the ocean, not in a fish tank. But a big retailer has another take on things, and that&#8217;s got <a href="http://blog.sfgate.com/hawaii/2012/01/04/snorkel-bob-steps-up-protests-over-petcos-sale-of-reef-fish/" target="_blank">Snorkel Bob</a> hot under the collar, so the speak.</p>

<p>If you enjoy snorkeling, you know how important it is to help preserve coral reefs.</p>
<p>Among the basic rules of <a href="http://www.snorkeling.info/snorkeling-safety/index.html" target="_blank">snorkeling safety</a> is being aware of your surroundings &#8211; and that includes respecting the reef.</p>
<p>We like to hear about the good work people like <a href="http://reefcheck.org" target="_blank">Reef Check</a> are doing &#8211; like <a href="http://www.bendbulletin.com/article/20110907/NEWS0107/109070380/" target="_blank">this project</a> in Haiti.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Denver may not be the best place for snorkeling &#8211; it hasn&#8217;t made our <a href="http://www.snorkeling.info/snorkeling-locations/index.html" target="_blank">Snorkeling Destinations</a> page (yet) &#8211; but we were intrigued to learn that <a href="http://www.divedowntown.com/programs/swim-with-the-fish.shtml" target="_blank">you can snorkel</a> at the Downtown Aquarium in Denver.</p>
<p>You can get up close and swim with a 400 lb. Queensland Grouper, Moray Eels and Nurse Sharks and many other undersea creatures.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.snorkeling.info/snorkeling-equipment/underwater-cameras/index.html" target="_blank">Next time</a> we&#8217;re in Denver, we&#8217;re going to the Downtown Aquarium!</p>

<p>We were reminded of that as we read <a title="Lionfish in Belize" href="http://deepseanews.com/2011/04/scientist-in-residence-my-seascape-of-fear/comment-page-1/" target="_blank">this post</a> about Lionfish in <a title="Belize" href="http://www.snorkeling.info/snorkeling-locations/belize/index.html" target="_blank">Belize</a>.</p>
<p>Lovely though these fish may be, it seems they are quite the peril&#8230;</p>
<p>Have you seen any Lionfish recently? When and where?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An artificial reef designed for <a href="http://www.snorkeling.info/" target="_blank">snorkeling</a> is under construction in the waters off of Pensacola Beach. Several reef modules <a href="http://www.pnj.com/article/20110413/NEWS09/110413006/Snorkeling-reef-construction-begins?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE" target="_blank">are being installed</a> about 450 feet into the Gulf, just east of the Portofino Resort. Construction should be finished in a few days, weather permitting. This site will be a nice addition to the snorkeling scene in this part of <a href="http://www.snorkeling.info/snorkeling-locations/florida/index.html" target="_blank">Florida</a>.</p>
