Welcome to the marine world!
Snorkeling in Zihuatanejo
While snorkeling, you are almost weightless, just floating and moving almost without effort. Mero Adventure provides life jacket and/or a neoprene suit that protects you and helps you to float in a manner that makes you feel completely safe. After a moment of acclimatization for the novices to snorkeling to get control of your breathing you put on your goggles. The goggles are coated so that they do not fog and they are adjusted for a water-tight fit. We’ve got various sizes of goggles to fit children to adults.
For those of you who use glasses we recommend contact lenses, since most glasses won’t allow a water-tight adjustment. But don’t worry! In the water the fish look bigger and closer to you than up at the surface, it’s part of the magic that you encounter in the H2O element.
You can breathe with your face under the water surface by using your snorkel. The snorkel contains integrated purges that prevents water from entering.
At Mero Adventure, all our equipment is disinfected!
In order to be able to follow the fastest fish, fins will optimize your swimming abilities with a minimum of effort.
In addition to an explanation on the use of your equipment, your guide will inform you about signals and rules to observe while visiting our coastal reefs so you can enjoy them in an ecologically responsible manner.

You can relax on one of the beaches or visit one of the best snorkeling sites in Ixtapa – Zihuatanejo, like Caleta de Chon , Caletota… and more.
When out of the water, you’ll be able to identify and name all the species observed while diving by the help of information plates kept on board the boat, and with this be able to give a name to all the fish of different shapes and colors.
Every day more people learn snorkeling and they spend hours observing flora and fauna under the water surface. Many snorkelers enjoy interaction with marine animals like dolphins, and some are passionate about “capturing” underwater images, while others prefer to take the opportunity to fish .
To the more advanced snorkel divers, we offer snorkeling with weights that enable you to submerge easier.
Anyone who practices snorkeling to be aware of their own limitations at all times during your dive.
Submerging in a free dive in deeper water requires good physical condition and, even more important, a relaxed body and an adequate mental concentration.
An important key to free diving is the knowledge and control of the respiratory technique during free diving; you can obtain this through yoga. Respiratory gymnastics in yoga or taichi, helps substantially to improve the results of your respiratory technique.
Where is the best place to snorkel in IXTAPA-ZIHUATANEJO?
Generally, the areas further away from town are better sites because the currents from rivers, marine traffic and other activities affect visibility and also the quantity and variety of marine life. Some of the best snorkel sites are around Islas Blancas. La Caleta and Playa Manzanillo, south of Zihuatanejo Bay are also excellent locations because they have have calm currents.
Is all equipment provided for the snorkel tours ?
Yes - life jacket, mask, snorkel and fins. You can also buy you own snorkel and mask from us if you would like to.

No problem; our guides will show you everything and take you to the best areas to dive.
