Snorkeler comes face-to-face with unusual sea creature while swimming in Mexico

A snorkeler was left in shock when she came face-to-face with an unusual sea creature while swimming in the blue waters around Mexico.

Susan Aide Morales Cruz has been documenting marine life around Playa Miramar for years, but only came in contact with a unique snail this month.

Footage of the dive captured a bright red sea hare swimming through the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, leaving Morales Cruz 'hypnotized.'

Sea hares can be found in shallow, coastal waters where there is plenty of seaweed and marine plant growth to feed on which gives the creature its red-maroon coloring.
