Snorkeling San Carlos with a Marine Biologist

During most snorkel tours one simply goes snorkeling after being given the equipment. In contrast, this is an educational snorkel tour suitable for the entire family. The tour starts with a short PowerPoint presentation on the ecology and natural history of the area, and also covers the most common species encountered on the reef. The presentation provides an understanding of the reef and enables one to recognize the many species of fish and invertebrates encountered. Coral growth is poorly developed in the central Gulf of California, but this tour takes place on the only reef with extensive coral growth in the region. During the snorkel tour you will be accompanied by a marine biologist that will assist you in finding and identifying the many species of fish and invertebrates on the reef. After the snorkel tour the group reconvenes to address the observations using a variety of field guides provided, while enjoying freshly made ceviche together with a variety of refreshments.
