I don't know what happened to my post, but I had about 5 links in here. Noticed last night when I came in using my iPad that things had changed...so here, are the REST of the links I had originally put in here! I'll add a couple of photos - just as a tease, cause trust me - there's TONS more! Enjoy!

This is the area that I snorkeled anywhere from 2 - 5x in a day.


Here's one of the sharp tailed eels...I LOVE watching them and the water was so shallow, they were awesome to observe!


The link to the rest of the eel photos:

The octopus my BFF found (her photos are all the ones first; in the sea grass and some in the coral, mine are also in here. Gotta give her credit - she got AWESOME photos!! Way to go Terry!

AND I found a brittle starfish - how cool! I had turned my camera off, and only managed to get ONE photo before he scooted over and tucked himself into some coral


Scorpion fish! I found about 4 of them in the little area we snorkeled.


The link to the rest of the scorpionfish photos:

Saw 4 or more pufferfish/porcupine fish, and my first; burrfish, AND a juvenile burrfish!

That's an amazingly rich array of finds for such a small area of snorkeling. Great pix as usual!

Thanks! Water was so warm and calm first thing in the morning, and I loved seeing 'new' critters! Lots of them. Actually lots of bristle worms (or fire worms) which kinda freaked me out. I saw my very first one of those in Akumal Bay in Aug/Sept, over on a piece of coral by the cannons...

Actually, I 'throw in' trips to 'somewhere else' just so he doesn't whine about always going to Mexico. (Yes...there IS a method to my madness)....and I'm not working, he is, so he can stay home to look after da doggies, whilst I get my snorkieON! (and I discovered I really LIKE having solo trips!).

Amazing as always, girl!! I really should open my horizons but I am such! an Akumal addict
And I have to agree.. solo is a great way to go sometimes.

Thanx for posting! Love the pix, especially the octopix! Outside of your "goldmine", how would you describe the other snorkeling opportunities? I've heard from some that there's not much in the way of decent snorkeling. Always want to consider new horizons. How would you compare trip costs to where you stayed vs. Akumal?
