The Aquarium  snorkel
This site provides shallow depths and is located only a few hundred yards from the rocky  north shore of Mismaloya beach and the bottom is 10 to 20 ft deep, the
volcanic rock formations are covered with a decent variety of soft and hard corals, although there are not much coral formations in the area,
the amazing amount of
sea life in this ecosystem is impressive.
El Bajo  snorkel
A small  pinnacle  in 25 to 35 ft  deep . Schooling snappers, barracuda, mackerel and parrot fish circle the pinnacle, green turtles and eagle rays,  On the west side of
the reef, the bottom falls rapidly to great depths.
El Paredon  snorkel
This site starts at the south edge of The Canyon and this is a drift tour  along the south face of the biggest islet of Los Arcos, Very enjoyable snorkeling tour  in which

puffers, sergeant Majors, giant damsels, barber fish, groupers and although there are no cleaning
stations on this area, great pacific mantas pass by all of the time.
Majahuita Punta Sur  snorkel
Punta Norte and Punta Sur is divided by Majahuita beach, a rather small beach no longer than 100 yards, the boat is anchored just a short swimming distance from

the nutrients passing by.
