The Ultimate Guide to Snorkeling Tours in Cozumel with Blue Mayan Divers
Are you staying in Playa del Carmen or Tulum and looking for the best crystal-clear water in Mexico? A Cozumel snorkeling tour is the #1 day trip for backpackers and ocean lovers. At Blue Mayan Divers, we take you away from the crowds and into the heart of the Mesoamerican Reef.
Why Choose Cozumel for Snorkeling?
Cozumel is world-renowned for its incredible visibility, often exceeding 100 feet. Unlike the mainland beaches, the island’s reefs are protected, meaning you’ll see a higher density of marine life, including:
- Hawksbill Sea Turtles
- Spotted Eagle Rays
- Vibrant Purple Sea Fans and Brain Corals
Top Snorkel Spots We Visit
When you book with Blue Mayan Divers, we don’t just stay near the pier. We take you to the most iconic locations:
1. El Cielo (Heaven on Earth)
Famous for its shallow, turquoise sandbars, El Cielo is home to hundreds of giant starfish. It’s a must-see for anyone wanting that perfect Caribbean photo.
2. Palancar & Columbia Reefs
These reefs offer stunning “drop-offs” where you can see the deep blue ocean on one side and colorful coral gardens on the other.
