runner15km Posted October 15, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Both have very good shore snorkeling, Eden Rock or Sunset House in GC and The Money Bar in Coz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted October 16, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I agree with the suggestion of snorkeling from the shore at the Money Bar in Coz! :cool: In GC we have twice done the snorkel and stingray city tour with Moby Dick - great snorkeling on the reef, smaller boat, not crowded, great service, and lots of fun with the stingrays.:D Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsugirly Posted October 16, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2013 We love snorkeling at Chankanaab. You can find my reviews in my signature line along with tons of pictures of the place and snorkeling. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted October 16, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2013 We'd rather snorkel in Grand Cayman than Cozumel. LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted October 16, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 16, 2013 A couple,of weeks ago we snorkeled at both Cozumel and in the caymans. In Cozumel we just DIY and went to the Money bar and hung out. For the Caymans we went with Kevin and Ecotours for snorkeling and Stingray City. Honestly, if you have to choose only one to snorkel, the Caymans were much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsfuzzmo Posted October 16, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Grand Cayman! We've found that the reefs that are easily accessible in Cozumel are terribly beat up and over-used. If you took a tour to the East side of the island where the reef is out farther (many dives go here) it's absolutely gorgeous, but most snorkelers hit the west side of the island and it's just not that good there anymore. Not like it used to be. Grand Cayman has a few places like that as well, but most are still pretty pristine and gorgeous. We've also found the water at Grand Cayman to be clearer than in Cozumel.

Karlie1 Posted October 16, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Cozumel: The Money Bar, we will be there again Nov 5th. In Grand Cayman, we like Cemetery Beach. There are no services, we bring drinks and equipment. The photo ops of the cemetery is worth the $5 each cab ride one way. You can walk through the cemetery or there is a path next to it to get to the beach. The snorkeling is very good, tons of fish. Don't forget to bring a couple boxes of fruit loops from ship. The fish love them. There are trees for shade and you can see the ship from the beach. HELL is a few miles down the road. We have been to Hell and back, more than once. On the way back, stop at Burger King. There is good snorkeling right in front of the restaurant. My wife drank a soda, out side seating ,while I snorkeled. Then walk back to ship. All for less than $25 total.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does attract the fish but they are not used to it and it can potentially kill them. Please help protect the fish and reefs you want to see.

Tom_n_Sara Posted October 17, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 17, 2013 We love snorkeling in the Caymans. Our experience is that the water visibility is generally better there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsgilomonster Posted October 24, 2013 Author #13 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Why choose - snorkel at both! :cool: Not sure my children will want to snorkel at all 3 stops. Want to choose the best if we do just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
