This was my favourite part of my holiday to Mexico. I went on 15th May 13 with a company called Underwater World lead by a lady called Pamela.

Lots of fun getting out and seeing some great stuff down under!! I hadn't snorkeled in a couple of years but once I got the hang of it again all was well!

For the snorkeling portion, we got really close to quite a few turtles and 2 stingrays. Unlike any other snorkeling tours, these turtles don't seem to care about humans. They continued...

We were advised by a local travel agent that Akumal Bay is the best area for viewing the turtles. If you are comfortable in the water, there is no need to pay for a guide service.

This experience is the number one reason I would go back to Mexico.
Pros:Lots of sea turtles to see, some decent snorkeling by the reefs, protected bay for swimming.
Cons: A lot of people and tours, so it can be crowded, and some people are idiots, harassing the wildlife. Also, depending on the day, visibility can be a bit of...
