Mahi, marlin, sea lions and frigate birds, all work bait balls together. They ball.

The magnificence of the freshwater world below the jungles of Mexico. Ancient realms almost too ethereal to be real.

Megaptera novaeanglia 🐳
I love scientific names for animals, humpback whale’s scientific name comes from the Greek words meaning “big-winged New Englander”. This refers to their massive pectoral fins, which reach up to 16 ft long, and the region where European whales first documented them. Their pectoral fins are the largest appendages of any living animal on land or in the ocean.
Captured in Tonga and British Columbia.

Have you tried the TG-7?

Is the OM SYSTEM TG-7 the best underwater camera for snorkeling? My hands-on review covers the settings I use, where it shines, and where it struggles.

My TG-7 review 📷
The OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 is the underwater camera I would hand any snorkeler, family or traveler who wants real photos, not just action camera video. I tested it for snorkeling, macro and slow motion in pools and creeks here in Colorado.

It is waterproof to 15 m (50 ft) with no housing, the underwater spot on the dial holds five modes, and Microscope mode focuses as close as 1 cm. For my own shots I use RAW in Aperture priority with the exposure turned down, and for video 4K 30p, or Full HD 120 fps when I want slow motion. It is 100% going into my camera bag.

Full review in the comments.

No housing needed 🌊�The OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 is a small underwater camera that goes straight into the water with no housing, waterproof to 15 m (50 ft). Here are the settings I use for snorkeling, macro and video, in under a minute.
I shoot RAW in Aperture priority with the exposure compensation turned down, so bright water and skin never blow out. For close-ups I use Underwater Macro for the 4x zoom, then Microscope mode to get as close as 1 cm. For video it is 4K 30p, or Full HD 120 fps when I want slow motion. It is 100% going into my camera bag.
