After some practice it proves very easy for a snorkler to reach the reefcam in it's new position.

The problem arises though when the new reefcam will also only take one image every 2 minutes!!!

I must have been one of the last snorkelers to visit the ReefCam and get into a picture. In seven attempts of 30-40s underwater I was only able to intercept the 2 minute picture once (it is difficult!):

Kev managed to snorkle down. It took quite a few go's but he was determined.

You're right Jenni, same thing here: it would have been a lot easier if I knew when the cam would take the pictures. :-D You know, when I was there swimming I was thinking to myself "-Donkey boy, why didn't you set your watch in sync with your PC before coming to Bonaire? Argh...". I swam from Andrea I to the cam (~1 hour), stayed there for about 20 minutes (with Pierre the Angelfish), then swam back (~40 minutes).

Indeed, the cameras are synchronized to the atomic clocks using NTP. However, each camera is captured in sequence, not all at once, so one camera is somewhere right at the stop of the minute, the next is a couple of seconds later, and so on. That may change down the road.
