This great excursion on the lovely island of Cozumel is sure to please everyone in your group! Enjoy both the SNUBA dive and snorkeling afterward at the famous Chankanaab Marine Park. Snuba is similar to real SCUBA diving but you do not have the heavy air tanks strapped to your back with all the equipment. It is easy and safe enough for everyone to do with depths that are much more shallow than SCUBA dives.

Start this great day by hopping aboard a ferry in Playa del Carmen. On your way to Cozumel, you will enjoy 40 minutes of fantastic views while gliding across the Caribbean. The ferry offers both facilities and snacks for your comfort. Consumables are not included in the price. Ride up top and enjoy the ocean breezes, or down in the main cabin with large viewing windows and air conditioning. Once you arrive in Cozumel, simply hail a waiting taxi for Chankanaab! 

After checking in at the front gate at Chankanaab Park, your friendly English-speaking SNUBA Dive Cruise Excursion guide will show you where the Snuba activity is set up. The entrance fee is $15.00 USD per participant payable in cash only. There are lockers available at no extra cost for your belongings. The highly trained and certified excursion guides will go over all of the SNUBA Diving equipment you will use for your excursion, show you how to use it, and then get you suited up. Your SNUBA excursion equipment includes a snorkel mask, a regulator that provides your air supply, a weight belt, fins, and a harness for the hose leading from the regulator to your SCUBA air tank floating on the surface.

Your Cozumel SNUBA shore excursion guide will lead your small group to the water. The calm aqua blue and crystal clear ocean water at Cozumel Chankanaab Marine Park makes it an ideal location for this beginner's SNUBA Diving adventure underwater. As you go a little deeper, you will start to feel a little pressure on your ears like flying in a plane, your guide will show you how to equalize pressure in the easiest way so you can fully enjoy this SNUBA excursion in Cozumel. You will continue at your comfort and at your pace. Your guide will be beside you the entire way. The maximum depth you will go on this SNUBA dive cruise excursion in Cozumel is just a maximum of 20 feet and your underwater time is approximately 25 minutes.

When you finish your SNUBA Dive, you can relax and enjoy the facilities at Chankanaab National Park - snorkeling gear is included for 1.5 hours, marine life shows, endless beaches, plenty of lounge chairs and shade, a botanical garden, lockers, restrooms, showers, and much more. There are also 2 restaurants and a bar available to purchase food and drinks. Children can enjoy a special children's play area. Although the time it takes to receive instructions and complete the Chankanaab Snuba Diving Excursion is 1.5 hours, you may stay all day if you wish. Chankanaab Park hours are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. When you wish, just grab a waiting taxi back to the ferry dock!
