I like to snorkel, but I am always a little nervous about going since I am not a very good swimmer. However, I booked a private tour with Loes during a cruise on the Emerald Princess. This private tour was definitely the way to go. With only 5 people in my group, we had all the personal attention we could ask for. I can’t even begin to compare how much better this was than going on a cruise ship tour. (On the cruise snorkel tour that I took a year ago, I didn’t even get off the boat because there were probably 100 snorkelers on the boat, and I couldn’t find any staff available to response to my concerns.) Loes was so patient and helpful, and she provided a lot of great information about where we would be snorkeling and the fish and marine life that we would see. The purpose of our first stop was to make sure our equipment fit properly and be sure we were comfortable in the water. While doing this, we were also able to see hundreds of starfish laying in the sand. It was amazing. We stopped at 3 additional spots and Loes gave us options regarding where those stops would be. We saw so many beautiful fish as well as coral formations, sting rays, and eels. Loes evens dives down to point out things to you. I can’t say enough about how much fun this was. And even if you don’t take the private tour, I still recommend Cozumel H2O because the boats they use are small, so you will still get a lot of personal attention and have a fabulous day.
