The Lord of the Reef

Snorkeling the Punta Nizuc Reef

On a recent trip to Cancun we joined

Luis and Oscar on the Lord of the Reef

to snorkel the Punta Nizuc Reef.  Since

it is the slow season in Cancun right now

there were only 4 guests on this trip.

Hi Roni & Lisa!

We took a beautiful ride through the

mangroves seeing fabulous shore birds

and once we were out at the reef we got

on our gear and jumped in.

A coral reef is like a beautiful

underwater garden ~ the shapes

and colors are spectacular.

And then there are the fish!

Imagine swimming through a tropical

fishtank, that's what it feels like.  The

colors and sizes of the fish are breathtaking.

There are so many things to look at

it can be a bit overwhelming but our

guides were great at pointing out the

important things that we may have missed.

With each bend in the reef you

come upon a new sight to behold.

This is a barracuda that we swam past.

Sadly the photo of the huge stingray came

out too blurry, the coloration was fantastic

and the stinger was a yard long.

I highly recommend Luis and Oscar, they

took good care of us and we had fun.  After

snorkeling they turned up the music and served

refreshments and we had a party as we headed

back to the marina.  I can't wait to do it again...
