Isla Mujeres Snorkeling

I've only been to the Mayan Riviera once so I'm not an expert on diving and snorkeling. However, when I went on my vacation I did experience the best diving and snorkeling of my life. I've been snorkeling in the United States such as Key West, FL and that was nothing compared to my trip to the Yucatan Peninsula. Specifically, I went snorkeling at the Isla Mujeres location on the Yucatan Penisula. I had heard, before I went, that Isla Mujeres has amazing beaches and it's true. Even if you don't get out to snorkel the beach was amazing. If I had to put the scene in words I'd say, "Picture Perfect". The snorkeling was great except I didn't expect such a strong current. When I was snorkeling in the Keys there was little to no current so I had a more leisure swim. On the other hand, in Isla Mujeres I found myself working to adjust with the currents which is not always an easy task. Overall though, the trip to Isla Mujeres on the Yucatan Peninsula was one of my favorite trips in terms of snorkeling mainly because of the beautiful beach and water. If you're ever on the extreme east side of Playa del Carmen, I'd suggeset Isla Mujeres 100%. A trip I'll never forget and I'm sure you'll feel the same.
