Do you pay it every new day that you wish to go in the water?

No...you pay $ 25.00 for a diver tag and it is good until the end of the
current calendar year.

If you want to snorkel, kayak, fish, wind-surf,...just use the water for
anything other than diving you.....have to get a "Nature" tag, which is also
good until the end of the calendar year. I haven't heard if the divers tag
also allows you to do the other things or if you have to buy both. These are
new prices and the Nature tag is a new requirement.

It used to be $ 10.00 for the diver tag and nothing else was required for
any of the other activities/sports.

No, not yet, though other locales do. But I imagine that someone could hide
somewhere in Xel-Ha overnight and thereby avoid paying admission for the
next day. Or do they make you wear some sort of color-coded bracelet?

Well I went to Cancun and the snorkeling was pretty bad. I went to Xpu-Ha
and Isla Mujeres, since they were both advertised a great snorkeling spots.
Not so great in my opinion.

Here are some regular pics of the trip www.bighaig.com/cancun2005
