Free Shore Snorkeling 2016 Idle Idyll Idols

Thanks, for the reply, John. We will definitely check the Catalina out. We looked long and hard at both Catalina and Villa Mexicana before deciding that we wanted an easy walk into town, and opted to stay on La Madera. You've mentioned that the south end of Madera is sometimes decent snorkeling, and I'm wondering how difficult of a swim it is around to the north end of La Ropa? On Google maps, it looks do-able, keeping in mind that we're relatively strong swimmers, but we're lazy . We also plan on at least one Las Gatas day, and perhaps even a venture out to Isla Ixtapa.

I was glad to see your identification of the Cortez wrasse. I was wondering about that one, too. It looks so much like a blue head with different coloration, that of course it makes sense that it's another type of wrasse.

BTW, the "Me Gusta" above is from my Mark. I didn't realize he had registered for the forum, but he said he had to, just so he could give you a thumbs up on your excellent video!
