Snorkeling Grand Cayman Rum Point 132 10

Snorkeling 9 years ago 25,308 views

This video is taken with GoPro 3+. We were staying at 7-mile beach and decided to drive to Rum Point to snorkel for the day. We stopped along the way to see the blue iguanas. We first snorkeled along starfish point to see the giant starfish. After this we stopped at a beach at Rum point and asked if we could swim to the barrier reef. We were given a buoy with a flag that we swam with so that boats could see us. The current made swimming a bit more difficult. We swam about a half a mile in total, almost to the barrier reef and back. I also brought some squid to feed the fish and this made them swarm around us. We saw two eagle rays, some barracuda, a spiny lobster, lots of conch snails, and tons of colorful reef fish. The reef seemed very healthy. After snorkeling at many other spots in Grand Cayman Rum point was probably the best spot. see link for maps of the snorkeling spots off of Rum Point. snorkelblog.tumblr.com/post/2748786264/rum-point-barrier-reef?wc=EAtmGQh5DBouAxFuBwEdEhUWUREP

perfection, simply perfection! I need to find the cheapest all inclusive there for next year, anyone know one? thanks a bunch!

Do you recommend renting snorkel gear in Grand Cayman? Or should we purchase our own gear beforehand? I hope i see the stuff you saw. great Video. I need a worthy guerrilla pod, so i can capture footage like yours.

Joshua Turner - 7 years ago

I prefer having my own gear but it's up to you though

Thomas Dickens - 7 years ago

Winter is a nice time to come. November is generally pretty warm and humid. The temperature is around 28-32 degrees Celsius. I live in cayman so if you have any more questions just ask me

Cool video dude! Thanks for sharing.

Halee Rockwell - 8 years ago

who did you ask at rum point if you could swim out? Going to be there in 3 weeks and after watching your video, I'm dying to do it!

Thomas Dickens - 7 years ago

The place at the beach is called Red Sail Sports. They are great. They are all over Cayman. I live on Grand so trust me, I know!

+Josh Turner that is amazing!

Joshua Turner - 8 years ago

+Halee Rockwell No I didn't but that looks like a good idea and I may try using one in the future

Halee Rockwell - 8 years ago

+Josh Turner very cool. Did you use a color filter on your underwater camera?

Joshua Turner - 8 years ago

+Halee Rockwell We asked at this place that rents kayaks and snorkels at Rum Point Beach. I don't remember what the place was called. We didn't rent anything we just asked them for a buoy so that we could swim out to the reef.

Noelle Tijerina - 9 years ago

How did you anchor your gopro around the reef and get it to stay really still?

Jim Spangenberg - 8 years ago

Great videos Josh. We are staying near Rum Point at Kaibo Yacht Club during Memorial Day weekend. Securing the camera was a brilliant idea. I have a gorillapod that I will weight to the bottom with a 2 lb soft lead ankle weight for scuba.

Noelle Tijerina - 9 years ago

Dang, the gorillapod looks sic! I only have the GoPro brand selfie/tripod stick but the rock thing is a good idea. I will try to come up with something like you did. Thanks for the tips and awesome shots you got there!

Joshua Turner - 9 years ago

+Noelle Tijerina I used a gorilla pod and wrapped it around a rock which I swam around with. I placed the rock on the reef where I wanted to video.
