Is Snorkeling better in Cozumel or Belize?

Question

I have snorkeled Isla Mujeres and Ambergris Caye but have never been to Cozumel. I am debating a return to Ambergris (as well as farther south) or Cozumel and would like a frank comparison of the quality of snorkeling.

Answer 1

yea belize has the second largest barrier reef not cozumel! thats an insult!!!! u should come back here and have fun and tell all ur friends to help belize get promoted so it can provide jobs for citizens like us who have a hard time findding jobs. please help us!!!! and enjoy being here!!!

Answer 2

I think you should definately snorkel in Belize. I live here and Belize boasts the second largest barrier reef in the world,the largest in the wester hemisphere.

Answer 3

The 2nd largest reef is off of Cozumel, so i would say Cozumel. I snorkeled at Chakanab Park in Cozumel 3 years ago. It was great. my first time

Answer 4

I like Bonaire, one of The ABC islands. It's just off the coast of Venezuela. The water there is wonderfully clear making snorkelling awesome. Even an inexpensive disposable underwater camera will give you stunning pictures. You can even share them with us on your website when you get back.

Answer 5

Actually the second largest reef in the Caribbean is in Belize. Ambergris Caye.

Cozumel reefs are almost recovered from hurricane Wilma (2005) I would say Cozumel has excellent snorkeling and worth your effort going there to snorkel and scuba dive.

It's one of my favorite islands for snorkeling and I think you will enjoy the beautiful beaches and water)

Answer 6

Belize... the tourist have not had a chance to destroy it yet.
