GMoney Posted December 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Looking for some input. I will be in Coz on a Saturday in January from 730a - 6pm and want to snorkel. Based on research, I've boiled my options down to the following: 1. On My Own. Rent a car and snorkel at Punta Sur and Playa Palancar. 2. Eagle Ray 3 Reef excursion Any advice on what choice might be best? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare skittl1321 Posted December 23, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) I've been in Cozumel with people who have driven in rental cars, but the traffic patterns there are so crazy -I- would NOT want to be driving my own car. If I wanted to snorkel, I'd head to Chankanaab or Money Bar in a cab. Where does the 3 reef snorkel go? We saw lots of snorkel boats drop off at Money Bar (Dzul-Ha reef), which seems a bit of a waste since you can get there for like $8. When I was scuba diving Paradise Reef we noticed tons of snorkelers overhead, and that also seemed a bit of a waste, because the reef is a good 20 feet below you, so you are only observing from a distance (even though the visibility is good), unless you're a great free diver. Me personally, I'd rather be just above the coral and among the fish. Edited December 23, 2013 by skittl1321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted December 23, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 23, 2013 We used Eagle Ray a couple of years ago and were very happy with the tour. More recently, especially when cruising without kids, we snorkel from the shore at the Money Bar and then head to one of the beach clubs (Nachi or Paradise) depending upon how long we are in port and our port hours.

Rare dna1990 Posted December 23, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 23, 2013 ERD is one of our favorites. Very laid back. Nothing fancy. Ask to be dropped off at Paradise or Nachi, etc. I would not rent a car for any price or scenario, but that is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
