Haha I know exactly what you mean man and I am sorry you didn´t figure that out earlier. When we lived in Mexico and were about to go for some big snorkeling trip, I always shaved my face the day before so that my mask wouldn´t leak. And I don´t even wear a real beard, I just don´t shave regularly... So sorry man, I know how a leaking mask can totally ruin the experience for you. But you still somehow managed to capture some very cool shots down there, wow :) Btw next time, you can guys try the other side of Mexico - Yucatan and the Mayan Riviera, very different vibes, different culture, painted colorful skulls and chilled iguanas everywhere :D
Ya, we are planning our next trip now and would love to go to a more culture oriented area. There is so much to see in Mexico and we can't wait to get back there.
Yeah. I think you would really love the culture of the old Mayas. In some parts of Yucatan, their descendants still make for the majority of the community. Plus the Caribbean is an excellent place for snorkeling. I got to see everything from turtles, stingrays, octopuses to large barracudas and other amazing fish species without even being on an organized trip, it was all just random solo snorkeling from the beach...
Experiencing the culture of places I travel to is what I enjoy the most. This trip was more about relaxing since it was only a few days, but our next trip will definitely be longer so we can go out and experience what the location has to offer. I would love to snorkel in the Caribbean though. It sounds awesome.
