This was my favourite part of my holiday to Mexico. I went on 15th May 13 with a company called Underwater World lead by a lady called Pamela. She was a very friendly and passionate tour guide with excellent knowledge. The experience was just incredible! I was slightly apprehensive before arriving as I had been spending time in the sea...

Lots of fun getting out and seeing some great stuff down under!! I hadn't snorkeled in a couple of years but once I got the hang of it again all was well!

We loved this! The sea was a bit rough that day but the turtles didn't mind. We saw 5 large sea turtles and a barracuda. Then it was off for a short drive to a fresh water cave for swimming. Then an open fresh water swim. Very nice and beautiful place.

Everyone swims in the same area. Snorkel gear, mandatory vests and a small locker are available on the beach for a small fee. A... More

The snorkelling experience was great and then we visited an eco park with 3 cenotes and swam in 2. The first with lots of fish and turtles and the second with lotsw of... More

This experience is the number one reason I would go back to Mexico. Pros:Lots of sea turtles to see, some decent snorkeling by the reefs, protected bay for swimming. Cons: A lot of people and tours, so it can be crowded, and some people are idiots, harassing the wildlife. Also, depending on the day, visibility can be a bit of... More
