Snorkeling in Montezuma is a great activity, especially in the dry season (Dec-Apr) when the water is generally more transparent. The area has very clean water and thus an abundance of fish and other creatures. Moray eels, sea turtles, and octopus are commonly seen.

Map of Snorkeling Spots:

Anywhere there’s water you can jump in with a snorkel and see some fish, but there are special spots where the fish really seem to gather, and you’ll find very interesting rock formations. The more convoluted underwater terrain, with lots of small cracks, crevices, and caves, makes a much better home for small fish, and where there’s lots of smaller fish, there are many other larger predators that hunt them.

The following snorkeling map shows the best places for snorkeling, which include:

Montezuma: Playa las Manchas
Montezuma: Las Rocas
Malpais: Playa los Suecos
Cabuya: Cabuya Island
