Divers and non divers Riviera Maya

[Guille G]

Without crossing over to Cozumel, your cheapest shot at a nice snorkeling trip is in Puerto Morelos. Plenty of folks offer tours at the pier, or you can check in with one of the scuba shops a bit further down the beach (the folks at Wet Set are friendly to non-divers, but you'll probably do okay with any of them). There are even shallow parts of the reef that can reach swimming for $0, depending on how they have the simmer/boat limits set up.

Akumal can also be nice, but it is more expensive and crowded, and I don't like how they set it up the last two years with the "corral" area off the beach. Still a lovely beach and the turtles are cool, the snorkeling may be worth it if you get on a boat.

The cenote mentioned in a post above is called Gran Cenote.

Blue Experience in AKUMAL is great. They might even pick up from your hotel.

Heading to Riviera Maya (Mayan Palace) this spring. In the past we have dove cozumel but it’s a pain to get there. Taxi trip, ferry trip, another taxi just to get to the boat. This time we also have non divers that would like to snorkel while we dive. Is there an easier way ? Any recommendations on dive shops or areas ? Also possibly interested in Tulum. It’s been several years since we have done any diving so all tips welcome !!
