Snorkel guide and captain were great and snorkeling in the ocean was perfect leveling up for us. It was our second snorkeling adventure in Cancun. Great for that type of experience and nice for our first open Ocean experience.
We saw a couple of sea turtles and a few schools of fish. Some of the fish swam right under/around us. There were a few sting rays and star fish along the way. And the turtle feeding ground looked like an underwater lawn. The wrecked boats were fun to see. The “Museum” wasn’t much to see just two finger statues.
Overall,nothing too exotic but still gorgeous water and great open water experience.
Some other thoughts on the snorkeling. The water was a little choppy and affected some visibility. They did have to cancel our first trip as the weather was too poor and harbor closed. Luckily our trip was planned for early in our stay and we had some flexibility, so rescheduling worked for us.
Boating from one sites to the next is a little rushed. But it was fun seeing so many different things. So I have mixed feelings about that.
It was also a great place for riding jet ski 1st time (which was us). But probably not great for people who have ridden jet skis a lot as you are restricted in where you can ride.
We were not going to buy pictures but our go pro’s battery wasn’t charged. Their photograph took some great pics of us and the sites we saw so we ended up buying their photo package (they didn’t get most of us in the videos, so we didn’t buy those).
Overall a great fist open water snorkel and Jet ski adventure for rookies like us.
