Hey everyone.
I have just got back from Mexico and would like to share with you the fist that I saw.

While we were there I went snorkeling in a national park in the sea. It was full of amazing coral and fish.

The most amazing thing i saw was a nurse shark. It was about 7ft long and was only about 5 ft away from me... just resting on the sea bed.
I also saw a stingray and a beautiful pair of French Angelfish.

There were a lot of meduim sized fish, about a ft long and they were yellow and silver striped.. Does anybody know what they were?


Anyway, pics will be up soon as i had an underwater camera.

Hope you like!
 
I can't wait for pics either.

I've been to mexico a couple times and I'm always well behaved around reefs. But around public beaches I tend to chase everything. Fish, crabs, seastars, sea scates, and stingrays. I tend to swim so much I get exhausted and end up half drowned :rolleyes: .
 
:kewlpics:, especially the Nurse Shark
 
I went to Cancun. Was my first time there and i'm definately going back!!

Personally for reefs, I would go a bit more south as Cancun is very deteriorated. If you are into diving or snorkeling go to Belize. If you are going for the beaches and nightlife, stick to Cancun.

Nice pictures by the way; love the shark.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I'm hoping to take my gap year out there as I am going to study Marine Biology. It would be a great place to gain experience doing conservation work with the Turtles and stuff. I just hope everything goes according to plan, still a long way to go till that happens tho, hehe
