Hola, lo que se puede hacer es que una bucea y la otra hace snorkeling. Nada mas hay que entender que juntándose a una salida de buceo la prioridad serán los buzos y tu amiga tendrá que adaptarse a los tiempos y lugares de los buzos.

Hi there, yes it's possible however the snorkeling might be compromised a bit. The diving locations at the Marietas Islands are by the island n1, snorkeling instead can happen by both islands. If there is a diver on the boat the boat has to be the whole time close to the diver and, because the national park rules do not allow to drop people and leave, this means the snorkelers too will need to be by the boat the whole time. If we go out on a snorkeling trip only we choose the best snorkeling location according the conditions of the day, we might stop by the first island or by the second one. If there is a diver on the boat you will need to stay by the first island no matter the conditions. We can take you to check out the beach at the second island in between the 2 dives but that will be a quick stop. So yes we can do it but that all depends on how flexible the snorkelers are. Another option that would give us more flexibility and would work best for diver and snorkelers is to have the diver going for 1 dive only instead of 2. Let me know if you think this can work out and I will send you more detailed info over. Roberta

No, See the reason below.

I would suggest not doing this if you cannot swim. You would have a life jacket but it can be rough. It would be scary.

The 3-hour snorkeling trip to the Marietas Islands costs $65 USD. I'm not sure of the cost of diving excursions, but their website may have that info as well. They were also very responsive to emails.

Sayulita-Guayabitos is approx 30 km, and depending on traffic about 25-30 min. There are local buses that are very inexpensive, and local taxis which I can only guess at the rate, maybe $15-20 US one way.
