Snorkeling from shore or boat

[JimandChicky]

We are going to Costa Maya in May and was wondering how the snorkeling was from the shore. We plan to go to Mahajual and find a place sit, eat, and be merry but would also like to snorkel. Do we need to find a boat tour or is the snorkeling from the shore good? If we do need to go by boat, are there tours available in Mahajual?

I can only answer the boat part. We signed up for a boat snorkel in the pier area with Tequilla beach. $15.00 each . We took the taxi bus for 3.00 each to tequilla beach and had a great 1 hour snorkel trip, at least 40 miutes in the water. We then walked for a few minutes to all the great little waters edge resturants/bars (Cats Meow being 'SAFE' food and drink) and also had fabulous beach massages. By great I mean very casual, small and laid back:rolleyes:

enjoy

There is really no place to snorkel in mahajual, you will have to hire someone to take you off short snorkeling.
