The best snorkeling areas are on the other side of the peninsula - Cabuya side. There are less waves there and a rocky coast which creates better conditions for snorkeling. Check out Solo Bueno Tours. They specialize in snorkeling and fishing trips. Manzanillo is another good spot to snorkel as it has a lot of tide pools at low tide.

There are a few nice areas for snorkeling around Santa Teresa but don't expect anything like the snorkeling in the Caribbean. The fish are small ... but colorful ....this is not a snorkeling destination. One spot is the 'Swiss Beach' at the very south end of Mal Pais, bordering Cabo Blanco Reserve, the other popular spot is a large tidepool across from El Ray Patricio on the north-most end of Santa Teresa.

or, as Cubanon suggested, you can pay for a tour to Tortuga Island.
