Knowing most travel in couples, esp on Caribbean side, am wondering if there is a list, or section where other solo snorkelers are looking for a snorkel buddy? know we are advised not to snorkel alone..but if its a choice between having a buddy ,and snorkeling..or not having a buddy=no snorkelling, you can bet, will snorkel alone , rather then miss it (is why am going, partly).
So, if anyone else is going solo, and wants to snorkel with a buddy...am 60 yo, female, good swimmer.
OR if anyone knows where i can find a snorkel buddy list?????..lol...think the dive shop would know of such a person?
LOL..its not exactly something you can turn to the person next to you on the beach and say.."hey, watch me snorkel ok"?plz?...lol...thanks for any info u people have...

You might want to go the LG Parties Forum and see if any other LGers are going to be there at the same time as you. Post your request there and see what happens.

There's usually so many people in Akumal Bay that if you did run into trouble and signaled or yelled for help, it would be a strange day if the nearest person was more than a few second away. Going with a buddy is always best, but in Akumal Bay I don't think an experienced solo snorkeler is really in much danger, especially not if you wear a snorkel vest.

Reef..wow..only a few seconds away? mustve gotten very crowded since '03!..LOL..if there s one thing i can do..its yell! Also, since HMB is shallow, think am safe as long as i dont go out too far...si?I do prefer to snorkel alone, but all make a big deal of it

, and its #1 rule on snorkeling advice everywhere! trust me to break first rule before i even get there!!!! thanks for info....
