(sorry, I know this belongs in the Ports sections, but thought I might be more likely to get answers here--presumably Karen can move the thread later if there's good information in it.)

I'm looking at our day in Cozumel this December. I kind of assumed this would be one of my major snorkeling days, since we'll be doing ruins in Belize, and I don't see snorkeling offered in Guatemala.

People on CC recommend just going to Chankanaab park by cab and spending part of the day on the beach, and in the water. Others say you MUST see the scenery on the east side of the island away from the tourists.

Others say you should just get out onto the reefs by boat and snorkel.

Regent is not really offering much--but there are two combo excursions that involve a, "beginner's snorkeling experience." I'm not a beginner snorkeler, but a fish is a fish. Do you think I would be satisfied with this type of excursion, or should I find another alternative? The two are "Exploring Cozumel by Jeep & Snorkel", and "Dune Buggy & Beach Snorkel". No prices posted yet, we get to book them in about 3 weeks. One of these has an appeal, since David enjoys a brief snorkel, but is not an all-day snorkeler kind of guy.

Thanks for any insights or information.
