Radio Power Snorkel

[Jesterscourt]

Has anyone tried radio powered snorkeling? It seems like a reasonable way to see the reefs in Cozumel if you are unable to snorkle for a long time on your own.

I think the OP is referring to power snorkel that has a radio on it. We did it in St. Maarten. Our radios didn't work so I can't tell you anything about that. Most posters have said they didn't like it but we thought it was fun and different. You hold on to this thing that propells you through the water. You control it by holding down some buttons. It doesn't go very fast and you can let go and it will stop. It allows you to snorkel without having to use much energy. I think we kicked along with the power snorkel when we wanted to go faster. I enjoyed it because we went really far out without having to worry about being too tired to get back to shore. Just a gimmick but it was fun.

Derf, it is a radio/power not radio-powered snorkle system. There is a picture of it on P. 42 of Princess's shore excursion magazine. Sorry for the confusion. Palolake is correct.

RADIO POWER SNORKEL, Tour ID: CZM-860

 

Explore some of Cozumel's finest reefs on a narrated snorkel safari that travels by underwater scooter.

 

WHAT YOU VISIT

Board your taxi at the pier for a short transfer to the beach. There your guides provide an orientation to your electric-powered underwater scooters and radio snorkel. Then set off on a guided snorkel safari, traveling by scooter from reef to reef. View hard and soft corals, sea fans, and tropical fish including angelfish, triggerfish, grunts, and grouper. After your adventure return to the beach, where you can relax or purchase snacks or beverages. If you wish to remain longer at the beach, you are then responsible for your return to the ship. Snorkeling equipment (including snorkel vest), professional instruction and supervision are included.

Just what we and the sea life need: More noise making gadgets in the ocean.:(

In my opinion, the best snorkeling happens when you hardly move at all - mostly just float and glide along. When you go fast, you scare the fish and miss the really interesting things.

Ditto that!!

 

Remain still for a bit and the sea life often comes up close to inspect the alien creature. Maybe we'll be something good to eat?;)

A turtle about the size of a teacup attacked me at Cozumel. My size was no deterrent to the little guy. No fool me, I backed off.

I don't know about that, I think the idea about bringing a boom box under water is pretty cool. :rolleyes:
