Snorkelling by kirstylm
Caught the ferry across to Cozumel island and then went on a 3-hour snorkelling adventure on the 2nd best reef in the world!! Amazing visibility and saw so much - eagle ray, moray eel, sting ray, parrot fish, starfish, stone fish and more! No need to book beforehand - they come around to you on the ferry with offers or you can sort it out when you arrive on the island. Offers normally include water, soft drinks and beers on the boat. 3 hours involve going between 3 different areas on the reef, with about 35min of snorkelling at each site. Lots of fun, and so much to see!!! Not a very cheap adventure, but still worth every cent! We paid about $45 and then $40 return for the ferry (if I remember correctly!)! You can get it cheaper, but this was booked for us through our hotel.
