Certified divers must show proof of Open Water (or higher) certification; non‑certified guests can often join guided shallow dives or snorkel options—check operator requirements.
Sites around the Marietas include shallow reef swims and deeper walls/pinnacles that commonly reach 20–30 meters; specific depths depend on the chosen dive sites and conditions.
Access to the Hidden Beach is managed by park authorities and can be seasonally restricted for wildlife protection; landing is not guaranteed and may be subject to permits.
Trips are often cancelled for unsafe sea conditions; operators typically refund or reschedule tours if the operator cancels due to weather or insufficient travelers.
The islands are volcanic in origin and were popularized by Jacques‑Yves Cousteau; they are now an officially protected national park and bird sanctuary.
The park enforces limited access and strict no‑touch rules; use reef‑safe sunscreen, avoid feeding wildlife, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
