Just came back from staying at Akumal Beach Resort.
Great snorkeling right off the beach there. Reefs start 30 feet from front of the resort, sea grass bed just a few hundred yards to the north where sea turtles and sting rays graze. I'm guessing that from the beach to about a km out is the reef flat and the fore reef is just beyond the breakers (best reached by boat). With such great snorkeling that I could do with the wife, I only snuck off for one dive with Akumal Dive Center (about a 4 minute walk down the beach to shop) for a cave dive in the "Taj Mahal Cenote" Here's a video with my GoPro http://youtu.be/_HeqGUIgs_c There's bats at 3:16 in the video.

Thanks!
The viz was only so-so on a couple of dives. The currents were pushing hard from the north and the viz was only about 40 feet. When the current switched from the south it was around 70 feet. Quote:

The camera is a Nikon S8100 with an Ikelite underwater housing. Hopefully we will get an external strobe for it before the next trip.

You will notice a HUGE difference with a strobe. But try renting one maybe first, cause they are SO expensive...We always rent from Cathy Church in Grand Cayman, where the vis is always 100 feet
 Great photos by the way, we just got back from Cayman but they make me want to go again
