My husband and I will be arriving for our second trip to AC on April 27th. I am trying to talk him into going night snorkling. He's a little timid about going in the water at night "with a little flashlight." We have been snorkling with Alphonso a couple of times, so we would probably try to schedule it with him. Can anyone enlighten me on how night snorkling works? How far can you see in front of you? How long are you in the water? Please give me some good answers so I will be able to persuade him!!
Has anyone been night snorkling?

It's really a great adventure - you'll see critters that you would NEVER see in the daytime and , as an added bonus, very few, if any, other air breathing warm blooded mammals out there with you (which) bothers some, but not ME!)Visibility will be determined by tide, current and how much "things got stirred up" during the day.
Alphonse would be a great guide, as you already have experienced.
The lights are not all that big, but bright.

ERJPilot just a suggestion IMHO try to get Alphonse to take you around dusk if your interested in seeing some intereting creatures moving around. Seems like a lot of fish get in postion for the night at that time. Hol Chan was incredible at that time of day. Huge Parrot fishing moving west in the channel presumambly getting in postion to "sleep", while large schools of snappers and grunts moving east out of the channel possible to actively feed after dark. You'll see different "stuff" appear after dark but the movement just before dark can be awesome! Try it!?
