"Best snorkeling experience of our week"

If I had ever experienced a close encounter with a squid before July 9, 2017, I don’t remember it. And on the other hand, the visitation recorded in the video featured here is something I will probably never forget. On this trip, I had a new underwater housing for my Sony DSC-RX100 camera, and I didn’t yet have much experience attempting to frame subjects with it. That’s one factor; another is the ocean’s current. I suppose I probably was also at least a little taken aback by the steady gaze of 20 creatures who seemed quite interested in watching me.

In August, 2016, our first trip to Saint John, U.S. Virgin Islands, represented an incredibly deep well of lavish scenery that had been captured with my original documentary project Rare Air in mind. All but two of the episodes that I’ve published since then have been based on that year’s footage. As it winds up, Episode 25 features the last cinematography captured in that wondrous location on that trip. I hope you’ll be happy to hear that there is more to come from our favorite Caribbean retreat. With what I photographed last year, there are probably at least another seven…
