Thanks for the comment! This was all in Akumal bay and only snorkeling, no diving. The lionfish was out in front of Secrets and in a deep spot, I had the camera on a selfie stick and did my best to reach as far down as possible.

Hi Jim we are going there in a couple months. We were thinking about doing the night snorkel. Did you enjoy it? Was it worth doing? I'm assuming you didn't have much footage because of holding the camera and flashlight at the same time isn't easy.

I've never done a night snorkel so it was fun to try but we didn't see much. I think the money is be better spent going in the day.

I went out just about to the breaker. It gets shallow so you have to stick to the channels. My first year I had some uncomfortable moments where the swells took me perilously close to the coral but the second year I learned to avoid the shallowest parts. I loved snorkeling in this bay, so much variety of sea life.

We were headed to Akumal to snorkel but a local convinced us to go to Yal Ku Lagoon instead. It was a gorgeous place to snorkel and I definitely don't regret it. BUT I do want to go back and snorkel Akumal Bay since there are no turtles in Yal Ku Lagoon. Swimming with a sea turtle is a bucket list item of mine!

Great video, I was also at the Iberostar earlier in the year an snorkeled the same reefs. Can I ask what your settings were on your camera? My videos didn't come out near as good. Filters? Protune? Editor color correction? Thanks! I'm going back next month!

Nice video! Looking for a resort experience for the wife but I want the adventure of snorkeling/diving. We've been to Bonaire twice and I snorkeled non-stop both times. SO, I want to know if Akumal or Cozumel can hold a candle to Bonaire? Current thinking is to snorkel the best of Cozumel and begin the next phase of diving in Cozumel. Comments, suggestions welcome!

Haven't been to Bonaire so I can't comment on the comparison. I'm in the same boat, the wife like to be pampered but I'm all about the snorkeling. This place won't disappoint, the bay is amazing. Where in Bonaire did you go?

Hi Jim, fantastic video and well filmed (the music works so well!) I really enjoyed it, especially seeing the variety of marine life in the shallow water. It was great seeing the eel venture out from its hiding spot. Did you do any scuba diving whilst you were there? which one was the best site? Thanks for sharing this video! if you have time, please check out my freediving c hannel, I dive in Australia, showcasing the local marine life there

+kmattorney Thanks! My snorkeling was cut short by an ear problem so I didn't spend as much time exploring as I wanted but for me the best snorkeling was down in front of the Secrets Resort and by the canons. The doctor who treated me said Yal ku Lagoon is amazing, you can walk to town and rent a golf cart to get there. We're going back in November and will be checking that out.

We've seen a nurse shark on the bottom out by the reef cut, a few years ago. And then the tip of the one swimming in the bay last year. Hopefully it's not bull sharks, but smaller reef sharks.
