In reply to Marilyn Jones. I'm actually terrified of water, Marilyn! If I can snorkel you can too! The key is to find a tour operator who will keep an eye on you

I don’t snorkel, but I can see I’m missing something!

We will be spending three months in Mexico (Jan. 1-March 31) every year beginning next year. Maybe I will finally learn to snorkel. My husband’s skin also needs a lot of sunscreen so Badger Sports 35 we will definitely try!

I really love your underwater shots and would be interested to know what camera you use for them. Hurricane Divers sounds like a great option for a good and safe experience. And thanks for the tip about sunscreen – – it makes sense but I hadn’t thought about that before.

In reply to kirk and rebecca needham. Hi Kirk and Rebecca...it sounds as though you'd enjoy Huatulco. It's received Green Globe International Certification as a sustainable tourist area which means it has modern water and sewage treatment plants all the better for clean waters for swimming and snorkelling. The new Secrets Huatulco is my favourite place to stay if you are travelling without kids and want a romantic getaway on a beautiful, private bay. All rooms are ocean-view and the culinary team is one of the best in Mexico. I wrote about Secrets in this article on Huatulco's Soul Food. and on my blog post Secrets on a Day Pass.. You shoudl be able to get a good deal in October. An economical option is Mision de los Arcos - its in the small town of La Crucecita so it isn't near the beach but it does offer a shuttle service. I'm headed back to Huatulco again soon so will report back on any new hotels I recommend. My colleague Sue Campbell just wrote a review on Secrets Huatulco in Luxury Latin America so you might want to check it out. Hope this helps with your planning ( and happy anniversary)!

my husband and i have been snorkeling in the dominican rep.
for the last 6 years and it is getting so run down without
hardly any more good snorkel sites. a stewardess on
our flight told us about huatuco and what we have been
reading it sounds like it would be just what we have
been looking for…..fabulous snorkeling, warm, beautiful waters,
private lagoons, beaches and just nice and secluded. we are
anxious to try it next year for our anniversary in october….
could anyone out there let us know more about the hotels and
which one to stay at? we would like to be at an all incl without
kids —-for some peace and quiet especially when dining? we
have five adult kids and numerous grand kids—we love em but
when we go on vacation—-that is what we want—privacy-adults…
let us know please more about awesome snorkel spots too—
we like going on our own also—we r retired scuba divers due to
my injury years ago—-

In reply to Lesley Peterson. Swimming with sardines in those beautiful waters sounds so lovely! Just remember to keep your mouth closed. Would love to try it!
