No Experience Required

The glass-bottom hull creaks gently as the boat slips away from Marina Caleta Antigua and the water opens into a flat, sunlit mirror. Below, the sea is not just blue but a living map—coral towers rising like reef-cities, parrotfish carving bright chips from the edges, and the current tugging playfully at your fins. For a compact, first-time introduction to Cozumel’s underwater world, the Chivis del Mar tour delivers: two 30-minute snorkel stops at Paradise Reef and Dzul-Ha, stitched into a 90-minute coastal run.

Adventure Tips

Arrive early from the ferry

Use a UV shirt instead of sunscreen in the water

Chemical sunscreens harm coral—wear a long-sleeve rash guard or apply reef-safe sunscreen on shore only.

essential

Fit your life jacket and mask before entering

Try your mask and life jacket on the boat—skills to avoid fogging and flotation issues will make the snorkel more relaxed.

info

Prepare for seasickness if sensitive

The coastal passage is short but choppy on windier days—consider a preventative if you get queasy.

Recommended Gear

Rash guard or UV swim shirt
