Mexico, with one coast
on the Pacific Ocean and the other on the Caribbean Sea has particular
appeal to those interested in exploring underwater. Snorkeling in
Mexico can occur in any one of a number of places. All of the major
tourist destinations along either coast will offer up some type of
Mexico snorkeling experience. Those looking to find the best in Mexico
snorkeling will inevitably be drawn to the Mayan Coral Reef off the
Caribbean Sea coast. This reef has the distinction of being the second
longest in the world, following only the Great Barrier. Located near
the resort area of Cozumel, the Mayan offers abundant marine life and
easy snorkeling conditions. Other major Mexico snorkeling sites along
the Caribbean Sea coast include Xel-Ha, Cozumel and X-Caret. On the
Pacific Ocean coast, there is no lack of excellent snorkeling spots.
Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay stand out as some of the best
snorkeling in Mexico locations, with the chance to see some of the less
common types of marine life, like manta rays, sailfish and even whale
sharks in season. It is also possible to explore the Sea of Cortez
while snorkeling in Mexico. The holiday destination Cabo San Lucas, with
a bay of the same name, and the Sea of Cortez have particularly quiet
waters that are teeming with brightly colored underwater life.
