      Mike was an outstanding snorkeling guide. This was, by far, the most interesting and fun snorkeling excursion I’ve been on, and I’ve been all over the world. Mike started with a PowerPoint presentation explaining what we could expect to see in the waters. We all had coffee and pastries and Mike had everyone engaged and interested in his discussion. In the water, Mike seemed to find all the interesting and cool sea life and made sure we call had a peek. For those that stayed on the boat, he brought things for them to see and hold. The ceviche tostadas at the end were delicious! This was the best value excursion of all I’ve ever been on. Would HIGHLY recommend!!

      We had an amazing time with Mike! I went with my partner and we both loved it. His passion for marine life is contagious, and he truly goes out of his way to make sure you have a relaxed, fun, and enriching experience. The snorkeling at Playa Piedras Pintas was stunning — we could see everything in great detail. And the ceviche at the end was the perfect touch. Highly recommended!

      Snorkeling with Mike was an EXCELLENT experience!

      This is the snorkeling trip to do in San Carlos, Sonora. Fun and educational!!

      This is a fantastic snorkeling tour, fun and educational! Michael provided an informative and interesting synopsis of marine life in San Carlos prior to heading to Piedras Pintas beach. What I'd like to point out is Michael assured our safety by making sure we were hydrated and kept us in eyesight asking how we were doing and if our equipment was working OK. He made the experience engaging by looking for and pointing out the different fish and marine life for us. To top it off, we had beverages and delicious ceviche. Highly recommended!!

      Totally Worth It!

      Starting with the presentation and knowing what to look for and what the names of things were was such a great start to the adventure. It was just the right length, just as my kids (8 and 11) were getting antsy the presentation was over. The snorkeling was fantastic! We saw all the fish from the presentation, including star fish we’d never seen before and a 4 foot eel! The whole family had a blast.

      A very...
