Dive-site story
Running parallel to Cozumel's western shoreline near the cruise ship piers, this shallow system consists of three distinct coral ridges separated by wide sand channels. Gentle drift currents push divers along patch reefs adorned with barrel sponges, gorgonian sea fans, and sea whips. It is a premier choice for warm-up check-out dives, second-tank afternoon outings, and productive night dives where nocturnal creatures forage across the sand flats.
Reliable encounters with the endemic splendid toadfish peeking out from under low coral overhangs
Expansive night diving where hunting octopuses, active crabs, and sleeping reef fish are easily observed
Easy drift profiles across three distinct reef tiers separated by white sand channels
