Cozumel Diving

The sunny island of Cozumel is home to great walls, protected reefs and some of the speediest drifts in the world.

A 10 km (six miles) cross from Playa del Carmen lies Cozumel. This island has become a popular scuba diving destination.

Cozumel diving has all the ingredients for a great experience – warm water, great underwater visibility, amazing reef formations, underwater life and fun currents.

Cozumel is famous among the diving community for its lush walls and high-voltage drifts. The reef system around the island is a part of the Mesoamerican reef system and is protected by the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park.

As such, it was an extremely healthy Caribbean reef, until the "Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease" ( read more... ) but still hangs in there and offers you incredible colorful dives in the reefs that are home to 26 coral species and more than 500 species of fish.

Cozumel is suitable for all levels of diver from beginners to experience divers. In particular, Cozumel is currently ranked as one of the top ten places for advanced diving. This is due to the deep walls and visibility that require extra vigilance.
