Cozumel Island
Cozumel is a well-known top diving destination, famous for the National Marine Park and for its clear warm waters. Enjoy the superb marine landscapes: walls, pinnacles, canyons and caverns, numerous swim through and the drop off into the abyss. We offer daily diving trips to this Island to complete your holidays and make them an unforgettable diving experience.
The first dive is a multi level dive (max. 30m/100ft) done in one of the famous walls of Santa Rosa or Palancar, followed by a shallower second dive (max.. 15m/50ft) on a platform reef like Paraiso, Chankanaab or Yucab.
Santa Rosa reef is on the edge of a drop off into the abyss, best to dive between 18m/60ft and 25m/80 ft, current can be from moderate to strong. Enjoy the beautiful coral formations with many swim through, overhangs, caves and colorful sponges. It is easy to see big groupers, lobsters, barracudas and many other tropical reef fish.
Palancar Reefs are among the most popular dives in Cozumel and consist of four different dive sites (Palancar Gardens, Palancar Horseshoe, Palancar Caves and Palancar Bricks). While drifting with the moderate currents between spectacular pinnacles and canyons keep and eye on the blue, looking for passing pelagic life and turtles. Along the walls there are many caverns and tunnels to investigate and everywhere a variety of colorful fish.
Paraiso reef is a very common second dive being the northern reef of the Park and can offer a lot: schools of grunts and snappers around the corals and colourful sponges, stingrays on the sandy bed and if you are lucky you can even find a shy sea horse hidden between the sea grass at the end of the dive.
Chankanaab is a great shallow second dive with abundant marine life; there are many crevices and overhangs on the reef where large moray eels, lobsters and crabs can shelter.
In Yucab the reefs are divided by sandy channels and there are many swim through and overhangs full of life and colors; sheltered from the current the divers can have a close look at a variety of marine life as lobsters, schools of fish, turtles and, with a bit of luck, nurse sharks.
For very experience divers we can organize special trips to other reefs like the amazing Punta Sur and Maracaibo.
For families we offer the COMBO DIVE & SNORKEL to spend a fantastic day on the sea, divers and not.
