Ilana -your plans sound wonderful especially to get away totally from grad. school. I snorkled near where you are staying, actually off the shark pens this year and had no problems. I'm older than 60 and not a strong swimmer. Last year while at Rosario, I got cold & felt the need to get back to shore quickly; following someone else, I began to try to swim over the reef. Wrong thing to do; luckily, damage to my leg was minimal, one gash but from then on I used a noodle when snorkling there & kept a safe distance from being pushed or pulled onto coral. Currents can be strong, respect for water & personal ability is important. This year I used a shorty wet suit for extra bouyancy, peace of mind and warmth. Underwater beauty is sublime as is safety.
