Dive-site story
Paso de Cedral sits along Cozumel's southwestern reef system, characterized by low-relief limestone overhangs, cavernous undercuts, and wide sand channels. Divers drift alongside these continuous ledges, peering into dark crevices where marine life rests out of the prevailing current. The topography produces excellent shelter for macro critters and large resting predators alike, while the open water above frequently yields encounters with cruising pelagics.
Extensive undercut ledges providing daytime shelter for nurse sharks and giant green morays
Expansive white sand channels where spotted eagle rays glide during winter months
High concentration of endemic splendid toadfish calling from beneath coral heads
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Winter and spring offer peak visibility and higher eagle ray numbers, though summer brings calmer seas and warmer water.
