Most people like snorkeling in warm water. Well, I have to admit I do too but recently, a old friend and I decided to put on wetsuits and snorkle down part of the Cowichan River on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where people often tube in the summer. It was definitely both stupid and fun… here are some pics, thanks to the waterproof camera :
