Wishing on a star Posted August 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2017 We are looking into planning a cruise. And, can plan to snorkel at either of these locations. Can anyone here compare? Which sights have more coral and plants and sea life? To be honest, after prev. snorkeling at the Reef Preserve at Puerto Morelos... from the pictures and info that I am seeing, this does not seem to be as amazing, and I want to have realistic expectations. I am afraid that the sights visited at Cozumel are deeper water, with the reef(s) like 30 feet down? I greatly appreciate any input. Thanks!

jayarrG7 Posted August 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Grand Cayman, no doubt. Check posts for Eden Rock, perhaps a total of a half mile walk from the ship. Dive shop will rent gear and lockers. No fee for using their access ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbabe Posted August 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The shore snorkeling in Cayman is okay, but not spectacular. You're right downtown, and it's convenient if you just want to snorkel on your own. Take an excursion out to the better reefs if you want spectacular.

Wishing on a star Posted August 13, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We could plan a snorkel tour to the better reefs... No problem! And, it seems like the swim out to Eden Rock might be a little much. (not getting any younger!) Can anybody compare the locaitons/reefs of these two ports? Snorkeling at Coz would free up time on Cayman for Seven Mile Beach. I am just not sure, especially hearing that some of the reef sites at Cozumel might be deeper... So you are viewing from farther above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfuzzmo Posted August 14, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 14, 2017 We MUCH prefer Grand Cayman snorkeling to Cozumel. In fact, we will always choose a snorkel day in GC and we don't even snorkel in Cozumel any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted August 14, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thanks.... that is what I seem to be getting from reviews and videos, etc.... Coz might be a stay-on-the-ship day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarimaJ Posted August 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thanks.... that is what I seem to be getting from reviews and videos, etc....Coz might be a stay-on-the-ship day! I would explore Cozumel, we really liked it. There is lots of shopping downtown and many beach clubs to go to and relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
