Mexico: Part 3

Right outside the Casita is Half Moon Bay, which is great for snorkeling. We spent an afternoon cruising around, chasing fish, finding turtles, diving down and coming up right under fat dudes wearing life jackets.

When my brother and I went to Akumal 12 years ago the first thing we did was jump in the water and swim out to snorkel. Right after the sand ends it turns to grass. We got a little scared and turned right around and went in. This time the grass didn’t stop us from exploring.

Right after taking this photo of Alex i swam back to the top and encountered the fat guy. He’s not in frame, he’s just off to the left. That was probably the scariest thing that happened out there.

Here’s our buddy the turtle. He wasnt too big, just a little guy. It was sweet to swim around with him and watch him chow down on some grass.

The brain coral formations underwater were amazing.  They were full or urchins and fish and I guess that there is an eel that lives somewhere around there. I’m glad we didn’t run into it. That might have been worse then the fat guy in the life jacket.
