I'll be in Cozumel in early May. I've heard from a few dive shops that the thimble or cork jelly fish have recently washed in in large numbers.
A number of of my group intends to snorkel.
1) Is this a very bad idea?
2) Are there usually areas that are less infested than others...is this a "weather report" sort of thing--e.g; they're on the south side of the island today, go to the north?
3) Are there reasonable measures snorkelers can take--skins, oils, hoods, gloves that can assure a safe and fun experience, or is is more often the case that if they are in the water you really don't want to be?
Please share your experiences, particularly if you've been there recently or are there now.
Thanks!
