We arranged the snorkel package with the Coki Beach Dive Club during our 1/19 cruise. Our kids ages 14, 12, 10 and 8 had never snorkeled but had practiced a little in our pool. I called ahead and made reservations with Laura (owner). The $30 package was perfect for us. It included Laura meeting us at the gangway and driving us to Coki Beach which would normally cost about $7 per person in a cab. You have to arrange your own return to the ship but there are cabs all day at Coki anxious to take you back. The dive staff was great in fitting the kids, making adjustments, helping them in the water, and identifying the sea life. Especially with the younger ones, its hard to help more than one kid at a time snorkeling. The instuctor helps you for about 1/2 hour and you get to use the gear all day. They will also give you stuff to feed the fish - be sure to take an underwater camera. The fish are very plentiful - in fact with regular goggles you can see plenty just a few feet offshore, especially later in the day as more people come and feed the fish (they're well-trained). We liked Coki - plenty of local atmosphere, food and drinks easily available, beautiful beach and scenery once you get there - the ride to the beach makes you wonder.
