Amazing Snorkel Experience ! - We recently booked this excursion on our stop in Cozumel, Mexico during our cruise and I must say that we enjoyed it very much. First and for most we got good value for our money, a similar excursion booked thru the cruise line cost almost double. The weather was a little on the rainy side but the crew of the Poseidon made the best of the situation and made up for the bad weather by treating us nicely and offering us refreshments and playing good music on the ride to and from the dive sites. Each snorkel stop offered a different experience and a different type of marine life. We saw tons of beautiful fish and amazing reefs with colorful fishes including starfishes, stingrays , and even a baby nurse shark. The length of the excursion was approximately 4 hours which was nice because we didn't feel rushed. The crowd size was perfect and not too full. The crew was very safe and attended to those who didn't have much experience swimming or snorkeling. The sandbar towards the end of the trip was breath taking. We absolutely loved the ceviche and the ice cold beers and other refreshments. We highly recommend booking this excursion !!! Special Thanks the crew, Chuleta, Leo, David and Adrian were all Amazing !

Stingray, starfish, and a shark, oh my! - A fun day … saw starfish, stingrays, a baby shark, lots of fish … but not one turtle. We really thought we’d be seeing at least one since this was called Turtle Sanctuary. It’s probably hit and miss. But the other animals were beautiful. 4 different stops- all very different scenery and definitely worth it. And the Poseidon crew was great!

Enjoyed the trip, not too... - Enjoyed the trip, not too many people, staff friendly and fun. The only thing that would have made it better is more time actually snorkeling! Each stop was only about 10 minutes in the water, which for a snorkeling tour wasn't enough, and seemed to be focused on getting individual photos of each couple/ person, to sell them afterwards, then back to the boat. Loved the idea of serving the food on a surf board while we were in the water was a great touch!

We did not see turtles.... - We did not see turtles. The excursion was rushed and we did not get the full 4 hours as stated because we had to wait 30 mins for other people to arrive late. The workers could not take our credit card for pictures and only wanted cash.
