Upon arriving at the snorkeling platform, anchored at open sea and right next to the Nizuc Reef, put on your mask, fins, and lifejacket, and splash in for an exciting snorkel exploration. Follow your guide across the surface, observing the fascinating, colorful corals and tropical fish. To make the experience even more memorable, check out the sculptures of the world-famous Underwater Museum, scattered across the sea bottom. Back on the platform, relax under the sun before hopping in for some more snorkeling on your own. Feel free to stay all day long, as shuttle boats operate regularly between the marina and the open-sea platform.
