First in snorkeling you visit 5 wonderful zones along the Great Mayan Reef a variety of colorful fishes, an amazing shipwreck, swim with turtles, immerse to see cenotes and you will get astonished with MUSA statues.
The activity is also for non swimmers and beginners, we give you a briefing to use the equipment correctly, plus the life jacket.
The other activity is the Mayan Ruins! You walk 5 minutes from the marina, you arrive very fast if you want to see mayan vestiges, so forget travelling milles to see them and come to El Meco.
It is important to reserve to organize the groups. You will have an English speaking guide, who will tell you interesting information. El Meco was a remarkable archaeological site for the Mayas civilization, there is the most important and spectacular building, El Castillo, and 14 ancient structures that you have to see. At the past, the site was used for trade from Cancun to Isla Mujeres and also to control the access.

Cancun reef snorkeling (first area):

El Meco coral reef has only 8-12 feet depth, warm water, and few or non-sea currents. With plenty of coral and playful fish schools, this is one of the best spots to enjoy snorkeling in Cancun itself. You may enjoy the first turtle encounter in this area!

Cancun Underwater
Museum (second area):

You have probably heard about the “Cancun snorkeling statues“. We’ll visit 2 galleries: "The blessings" and "Aquarium Family". The Underwater statues creators used a new technique and material for coral to grow on (made with pH-neutral cement, coral, seaweed, and algae are able to grow). The statues also have holes in them, which allow marine wildlife to colonize and feed off the coral.

Swim with turtles Cancun (third area):

Our secret spot to find sea turtles in Cancun! 96-98% of the times we got to see from 1-5 turtles! We might also find rays here. When was the last time you had the chance to swim with marine turtles on their natural habitat?

Cancun Shipwreck snorkeling (4th area)

Explore a shipwreck filled with colorful coral, surrounded by countless fish. The shipwreck is posed on thin white sand, you’ll feel like you are swimming in a natural turquoise pool!

Underwater cenote diving (5th area)
