SNORKELING @ PUERTO MORELOS

Today we decided to take a short 30 minute drive up to Puerto Morelos. This little town was pretty much shut down for the off-season. Very sleepy. Very few people on the beach. In the guide book, the going rate to go snorkeling to a couple of different spots was about $25-35 per person plus $2.50 for park fees. We got a guide to take all us out for $70 including park fees. It was good snorkeling and the kids enjoyed it. Right when we dove in we encountered a 3 foot long barracuda!!!! He was really cool. We saw a ton of fish, but, unfortunately for Collin, no rays or sharks.

Collin and Sydney in the water before we got on the boat.
The beach reminded me of the beach at Ensenada. No one was around.
This is all of us ready to make the plunge into our second site of the day.
Collin really likes the snorkeling thing. He did really well!
Sydney, again, afraid of her own shadow, fearing the worst, ends up loving it. She can't wait to go back and do more snorkeling.
