| VILLABLANCA - Depth 50-100 ft. (Intermediate) |
PARADISE - Depth 45 ft. (Novice) This is actually a series of three separate reefs. It is 200 yards from the shore out and accessible to beach divers. All 3 sections are abundant with marine life of every size, color and description. Expect to see crab, lobster and a plethora of multicolored tropical fish Look closely under ledges and in holes and you're likely to spy the reclusive Splendid Toad Fish, reputed to live nowhere in the world other than Cozumel. Paradise reef is the island's most popular night diving location. |
CHANKANAAB - Depth 55 ft. (Novice) Is just south of Parque Chankanaab and about 350 yards offshore. The coral formations and marine Life are similar to. But a little less populated than Paradise. Chankanaab is another good location for night diving. |
TORMENTOS - Depth 40-70 ft. (Intermediate) Is a series of colorful coral heads separated by sand valleys you can almost always visit with a very friendly and big moray. A divemaster's favorite. |
YUCAB - Depth 60 ft. (Novice) Yucab's dense low profile is a cornucopia of life and color. Barracuda are almost always seen here and the current is usually swift. |
PASO DEL CEDRAL - Depth 50-90 ft. (Intermediate) A fairly flat wall just brimming with life and color. Expect a swift ride. Look Maw! No kicking. |
SANTA ROSA - Depth 60-80 ft. (Intermediate) Undoubtedly one of the best scuba diving in Cozumel and the second most popular drop-off. The wall begins at 50 feet and drops straight away into the deep. There is usually a brisk current and what an incredible thrill it is to literally fly the face of the wall and frolic with the playful grouper. Santa Rosa offers great beds of tunicates, immense sponges, huge overhangs of stony corals and impressive caves and tunnels best dived 60-80 ft. Awesome! |
PALANCAR - Depth 60-100 ft. (Novice - Intermediate) The reef most identified with the island is actually a conglomeration of many different coral formations and personalities. Stretching over three and one half miles, this gargantuan queen reef lies about a mile off shore and tops a sloping wall which descends to a maximum depth of over 3000 feet. Palancar offers such a wide variety of profiles that she could not be seen in 20 or even 30 dives. Just to get a glimpse" of this multifaceted giant, the diver need to make at least 6 separate dives. |
COLOMBIA - Depth 60-90 ft. (Intermediate) Another impressive drop-off at 60-80 feet. The quality of diving here is at least as spectacular as any part of Palancar. Deep diving at its finest. Columbia is comprised of a series of gigantic coral pinnacles (most over 90 ft. tall) rock marked with caves, tunnels and caverns. Here you'll experience a unique sensation liken to floating around the Rocky Mountains. Small marine life is a bit sparse but large creatures are frequently seen. |
PUNTA SUR - Depth 90-120 ft. (Advanced) Incredible topography, huge caverns. Many divers surfaces screaming with joy. Home of the devil's throat. This sequel is every bit as fascinating. |
CHUN CHA CAB - Depth 90-120 ft. (Advanced) Probably the most difficult to find reef in Cozumel. Diving this one takes very special combination of captain, divemaster and weather conditions. If you do manage to get there, expect a virgin submarine fantasyland where large pelagics are often seen. |
MARACAIBO - Depth 60-120 ft. (Advanced) Often called Maracaibo or Lighthouse Reef, it is some super-fine diving slightly in from the wall. A series of very lush and rarely dived huge heads. |
