stylaster Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Got back from Cancun Mexico and went on a couple of different snorkeling trips along the barrier reef. This reef runs from Yucatan peninsula all the way down to Honduras, and is over 560 miles long, making it the second largest reef in the world. The seas where pretty rough and visibility was about 15' or so. So most of the pics appear murky because of all the sediment that was stirred up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylaster Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Thank you! Be sure to check out Isle of Women (small island north of cancun) That was the best place for snorkeling since the currents weren't so strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
