snorkel rick Posted April 14, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Can anyone recommend the "Snorkel at Plancar Reef"? Safe to bring a camera?

mconthehighseas Posted April 15, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2004 It's been many years since I've been to Cozumel, but my memory says that Palancar is pretty far offshore, and the only camera you should take would be a waterproof one.

snorkel rick Posted June 7, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Thanks for the replies, thought I'd let you know how it was (albeit late). Seas were fairly rough on this excursion. There were probably 3 dozen people on this excursion, most novice snorkelers. The reef was beautiful, but we were asked to stay near the "dive master", so we spent a lot of time fighting currents to regroup. Would have been a great day to have been scuba diving. I saw four divers just drifiting along down below while we were struggling on the surface. Maybe it's time to get that scuba certification?

Scuba diving is [B]SO[/B] much easier than snorkeling, IMHO. No worries about water going down your snorkel or any of that business. Cozumel's diving is "drift diving," so you do move with the currents. But, the dive shops will only take you to places where your ability and the currents are a match. In other words, they won't take you up to Barracuda Reef where the next stop is Cuba when you're a novice diver. As for 3 dozen people on your snorkel trip -- my goodness, who did you go with? We do all of our diving and snorkeling with Eagle Ray Divers and the largest the group's ever been, including us, was 8. And that's over probably 20 total trips with them since 2001.
