Snorkeling at Xpuha - Riviera Maya (Video)

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

I live in Playa del Carmen, and it is supposed to be paradise but when you get stuck in a working rutine, you don't get a lot of beach time. I decided to change that this Sunday and woke up really early, I took Fidel (our dog) on a long walk and then drove to Xpuha to check out the reef.

It was a good time and it seemed like a meditation, being alone in the ocean and hearing only water and my breath. It really made me miss scuba diving, however it saddened me to see that the reef is not in excellent shape and there are much fewer tropical fish than I remember.

I wanted to share this video because Xpuha is a beautiful place to go but I also want to create awareness of what is going on in the ocean. Just because we don't live in it, does not mean the way we create waste affects it.

Lovely!

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it...

it's beautiful inside, I have been in Ksamil (Albania) last week. I put Water glasses I swam I looked inside looks great, but the problem is I Can not breathe cleanly inside.

Lucky you do more like this, we will wait to see next story

Thank you for your comment. Try keeping your snorkel upright. It helps to look "down" at a 45 degree angle instead of looking straight down. That way water does not go in your snorkel.

thank you for your advice

Aaaa...how i miss the ocean...
Nice video mate..

I miss it when it is only 8 blocks away from home. I will probably go back to diving.

There is a lot of ocean and a lot of beach towns and cities. Make it happen!

Snorkeling seems to be really fun! Got to try it someday!

It is super fun. And peaceful. I would actually say it is more peaceful than fun. Good time to disconnect from the world.
