Here are a few specific experiences.
It's worth noting that windward exposure snorkling is always better on calm days.
At Carlos Rosario, it's worth swimming out a hundred yards or so past the marker buoy to get to the lushest part of the reef. This area is a little deeper, say about 20-30 feet, but it is where I have seen the most unsual fish and spectacular coral. Last May, saw a 2 1/2 foot green turtle, for example. Also have seen spectacular jellys there with bioelectric chaser light features. First time at CR, saw a rare spotted snake eel.
At Soldado and at Flamenco by the shark pens, have seen squadrons of transparent squid. Very Star Warsish. Saw a moray at Soldado last New Year's.
Since 1995, at Zoni, have watched what I presume to be a resident stingray grow from 8 inches across to about 3 feet. Also saw a small octopus blushing with apparent orgasmic pleasure from the ministrations of "cleaning station".
In the crescent shaped bay at Culebrita, have seen multiple green turtles, one of whom had lost a front flipper, and a 6 or 7 foot nurse shark.
Saw a little 3 foot nurse shark hiding under a blanched coral head at Luis Pena.
Keeps me coming back!
