I am a snorkeler and have snorkeled in many places, both on organized trips and just venturing out on my own. One of the coolest things that I think I have seen though was in a fenced in area. We went and swam with nurse sharks and stingrays(stingers had been taken out). That was a pretty cool things to do.

nope, never done either, not really THAT fond of swimming... and I prefer a pool However, when I was at the aquarium in New Orleans (probably in the late 1990's) I got to pet a baby nurse shark

I love to snorkel. I especially love going to Hawaii and just floating around and seeing all the colored fish. The coolest things I've ever seen while snorkeling were eels and turtles.

Never been to Hawaii but planning to soon. I have seen a variety of eels but never seen a turtle. Would love to see that. My parents actually got to see them hatch in Mexico and head to the waters. How cool is that?

I live in Europe and in the past I have snorkeled at some tropical reefs. I snorkeled for the first time at Australia's Great Barrier Reef and it was an amazing experience. That was when I was 20 to 21 years old. Then when I was 29 years old I snorkeled on the Ningaloo Reef off the coast of Western Australia. In murky water I saw a manta ray. Wow! I did plenty of snorkeling in French Polynesia. There it was so exciting to snorkel with black tipped sharks and stingrays. That was my best ever experience with snorkeling. I did some snorkeling in Samoa and the current was fast. I had seen some fantastic coral and lovely colorful fish but when I looked out I was far out to sea. I had to swim in a semi circle to get back to the beach. Oh my! That was exhausting. My last time I snorkeled was when I was 33 years old and I snorkeled in Belize with nurse sharks and stingrays. I have such very happy memories of the snorkeling that I have done.
