The experience of snorkeling in Costa Rica
One of the good things about Snorkel is that it does not require much preparation. Having a mask, some fins and a snorkel tube are enough to jump into the water and enjoy the marine life.
However, in Costa Rica is not that simple. This is mainly because the best snorkeling sites in Costa Rica are accessible only by boat or kayak.
This means that you necessarily will need to rent a Tour or a boat to get to those places where it is worth snorkeling and enjoy marine life.
The amount of life that can be seen during a snorkeling tour in those places is impressive. This is mainly because the waters are rich in nutrients, have convergent currents and acceptable visibility during most of the year. The country’s coasts contain many rock formations, coral reefs, some shipwrecks, and are home to abundant marine life.
However, you need to know that not all places are good for snorkeling.
