We made the hardest decision of our retired lives and decided that after an airline cancellation NOT come to Zihua this year after spending three full winters and dozens of Christmas vacations before that.

To keep my head in the game I have been viewing and editing Zihuatanejo Free Shore Snorkeling photos and videos.


I've finished two NEW videos recently to share.

The main character subjects are VERY small and VERY VERY small and so it is unlikely you will see them while snorkeling.

The first video is about the Barcheek Blenny or Coralliozetus boehlkei

The juveniles (as above) are semi transparent and so even harder to find.


The second subject is a cool little pink creature, Pink Telja Nudibranch or Flabellina telja.

The nudibranch was seen straight off Restaurante El Viejo where the La Ropa road becomes the Las Gatas path but out past the projection/protection from boats of the stone jetty in about 8 feet of depth. The Barcheeks were also seen near that easy access area and at a second site along the shore about halfway to Las Gatas. I found the Nudi with incredible luck at that depth while searching for the, Pacific Seahorse, Hippocampus ingens, that I had also seen very near that spot.
