Rincón Shore Dive | No Boat, No Seasickness | Expert Guides
Overview
LOCALLY ROOTED: We've operated from Rincón shore locations for 13 years — Our guides know these reefs, these currents, and these conditions the way a local knows their neighborhood. That knowledge is on every dive
ECO-FIRST BY DESIGN: Shore-entry only. No boat exhaust, no anchor damage, no mass-market turnovers. We run small groups, follow strict reef protection protocols, and brief every diver on the marine life and conservation practices specific to each site. You leave knowing more than when you arrived.
GENUINELY SMALL GROUPS: Maximum eight divers per booking — not because we have to, because we choose to. It means your guide is actually with you, watching the reef, not managing a crowd. Every dive is personal.

What To Expect
Check in at the Rincon Diving & Snorkeling for a full site briefing, equipment fitting and checked here.
Getting to the entry point A short drive from the dive center to the beach. Guests caravan with the team — we lead, you follow. This keeps it simple and means no one gets lost.
In the water Shore entry, guided descent, and a tour shaped by what the reef is doing that day. Your guide reads the conditions and adjusts the route to maximize what you see. Expect a good 45+-minute dive, often longer depending on air consumption and what's out there. Hawksbill turtles are frequent. Eagle rays are seasonal. The reef fish don't take days off.
After the dive your guide is available to debrief — ID anything you saw, answer questions about the site, or talk through what conditions will look like later in the week if you're planning another dive.
WHO IS THIS FOR: Certified divers of any certification level. You do not need recent dive experience to book, but if you haven't been underwater in over a year, ask us about our refresher option before your tour. We would rather you feel confident than discover you need a refresher at the entry point.

Frequently Asked Questions (14)
The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Destinations customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023Participants in the Rincón Shore Dive | No Boat, No Seasickness | Expert Guides cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.
The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS.
Jun 2024First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
