We will be visiting Ambergris the first week in January. I want very much to snorkel, but can't stand cold water! Have any of you had a problem with the water being too cold at this time of year?

no, very warm. Lets put it this way. Its a lot warmer than the Channel Islands off the Cailfornia coast. Used to scuba in about 53 degree water there.

Definitely one of the cooler months...which only means you might need a long sleeved shirt or light jacket at night. Daytime nice and sunny and warm. I'd guess the water temperature is probably around 80 degrees that time of year. Plenty warm!

Thanks for the information! I can't wait for our trip!
