Akumal Snorkeling
While on vacation in Akumal, Mexico I recorded a couple of hours of video on my GoPro camera while snorkeling. This video is the best 9 minutes whittled out of that. I mounted the camera on a 2 m monopod, so could get the camera quite close to the turtles and fish without annoying them too much. Most of the critters in Akumal Bay are quite used to people snorkeling anyway, as this is a very popular tourist destination, particularly famed for the ever present sea turtles.

Snorkelling with Sea Turtles in Akumal Mexico
This place is a great opportunity to swim with the gentle animals. Don't be tempted by all those on the beach wanting to take you out past the protected area because there is a better chance of seeing turtles and other sea-life. Your just going to waste your money because they can't guarantee you will see any more or less. they are wild animals and will be where they want to be.
Just head straight for the main booth hiring the buoyancy vests and get out there. take your time, relax and just swim around, your will find plenty to watch and enjoy. Just remember your not permitted to take your vest off or touch the turtles.
Swimming with sea turtles anywhere in the world is always a very special privilege and an awesome experience. Just remember to respect their environment and well being. Despite how it may look in this video, we can promise at no time did we touch any of these beautiful animal. A Gopro on the end of a telescopic pole shooting in 4K allowed us to bring everything closer than they appear. Being Aussies, we know only to well this golden rule, especially as in our country its illegal to handle/touch turtles

Sea Turtle Snorkeling - Akumal Bay - Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Here is the best footage I was able to capture with my goggles-cam (GoPro Hero3) while swimming with sea turtles in Akumal Bay. The other camera I'm holding my my hand in the video is a GoPro Hero2. Since the Hero2 camera did not have a underwater housing like the Hero3 has, the video REALLY sucked and I'm not going to post it on YouTube. Next time I go snorkeling or diving, I will have better footage!

*NEW* Akumal - Swimming with Turtles, Mexico 2014
Swimming with the turtles in Akumal, Mexico. If you rent out a life jacket and take your own snorkel you WILL see plenty of turtles. I saw 4-5 in the short amount of time I was in the sea. Stunning place to visit, just get a taxi there, cost us about £35 return from the Riu Tequila.
This was shot with a Qumox SJ4000. Its basically a GoPro, its compatible with GoPro attachments, but its a fraction of the cost. I paid around £70 and whilst the quality is not quite as good as a £250-£350 GoPro its more than adequate.

Looking for Sea Turtles in Akumal, Mexico
When we heard that you could snorkel with sea turtles in Akumal for free, we nearly thought it was too good to be true! We boarded a local colectivo in Playa del Carmen and reached Akumal in about 40 minutes, ready to go snorkelling with sea turtles. It would have been a great day if it weren’t so windy.
