Swimming
Near the shore, water temperatures average about 27°c 80°f year round. freshwater swimming is available inland, at several cenotes. at cenotes that are not exposed to sunlight, temperatures are colder, and a partial wetsuit may be necessary for anything more than a brief dip.
Snorkeling
Guided trips by boat are offered to the reef. snorkeling out to the reef from shore on your own is not permitted. to protect the reef against intentional and unintentional damage, you are only allowed onto the reef in the company of an accredited guide and wearing a life jacket. if you do go it alone, you risk being picked out of the water by park wardens who may just tell you off and take you back to the shore, but are within their rights to fine you. note that these rules are not clearly signposted anywhere. a light wetsuit is welcome certain times of year.
