We're going to Cozumel in June and want to do some night-time snorkeling and take pics. I've never snorkeled at night and wonder where would be a good (and safe) place to try it out. Any suggestions?
Night snorkeling in Cozumel?

Depends where your staying I guess....plan entry and exit and you should be fine...I'd bring two flashlights and a floatations vest to be on the safe side...leave a dive plan with someone on shore too. I assume by the boat pier in town would be the safest bet?

I'd suggest reposting your question in the Cozumel regional forum. There are some very knowledgable people there who can better answer your question. The same information would be relevant to shore divers.
There are hazards with current and boat traffic. I'd be extra cautious.

Here's a few spots I've enjoyed at night:
Good snorkeling in the evening off sun dollar, big stuff comes in to feed, Alberto's restaurant often has eagle rays at dusk, hotel barracuta has plenty of octopus and squid, the cenote outflow by the lighthouse in town has plenty of little stuff at dusk.
Depends how many night's you have and your skill in the water.... perhaps a generous tip to one of the dive shop workers would have a guide for you if you are hesitant on your own to handle the risks.

You can snorkel or dive in front of the Scuba Shack. If diving, they rent a tank and weights for $8. Scuba Shack is adjacent to the Tikila Bar/Restaurant, where you can also snorkel or dive. Diving with Scuba Shack - ScubaShack Cozumel
