Club Med Cancun

For us, the snorkeling was the absolute highlight of all the sports that were offered. The coral and fish were right off the shore. We saw barracudas, a ray, and lots of huge parrotfish. It astonished us that the coral was in such good shape, considering all the human impact around Cancun. There were organized tours every day by GO's out past the shallow coral, into the deeper waters. Not only did the GO's guide you out and ensure your safety, they spotted incredible things we would never have seen. There are "easy" and "difficult" tours. Getting out past the coral barrier can be a bit nervewracking, as the channel is very narrow, and the coral is very high. Once out past the reef, the waves are pretty high, but it's well worth it, and the GO took good care of everyone.

We went sailing a few times on the Hobie Cats. They had a few sizes of sailboats - I think they were all the single sail kind, though. The wind was constant and moderate, and there weren't any water obstacles to avoid. The biggest problem was the idiots in the jetskis and motorboats. They had no idea how to drive, and had no courtesy around sailboats. We saw a lot of near collisions. It made it really stressful, especially given that we're not experienced sailers. You could avoid the path of the jetskis and motorboats by going further from shore, but then you just deal with the speeding glass-bottom boats and diving/snorkeling boats, which throw a huge wake.
