Snorkeler's Cove
Why dive here
With 483+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Snorkeler's Cove offers some of Jardines de la Reina's richest reef diving. Water ranges 25-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Don't let the name fool you, Snorkeler's Cove offers a relaxed dive that's perfect for easing into the Jardines de la Reina experience. It's a gentle site, often our first stop for divers fresh off the boat or those looking to shake off some rust. We usually spot plenty of French grunts milling about, and it's a good place to find Orangespotted Filefish picking their way through the Mustard hill and Lettuce corals. Visibility is generally good here, making it ideal for newly certified divers to practice buoyancy without the added stress of current.
