Mexico. Snorkelling. Humour.
Snorkelling on Isla Cozumel — the Good, the Bad, the Ugly and the Just Plain Silly!
What should have been a beautiful trip in the wrong hands
Intro
Isla Cozumel is a tropical island located off the Caribbean coast of Mexico and on the MesoAmerican barrier reef (the second largest coral reef in the world). It’s no surprise that it is known for world-class snorkelling and diving in its turquoise waters.
As two water babies, asking if we were going to pay it a visit was like asking if a bear shits in the woods. I’d read about some of the wonderful locations and couldn’t wait for a full-day snorkel excursion.
