Dive-site story
Situated off the southern tip of Isla Mujeres, this site features rolling spur-and-groove coral formations washed by open-water currents. Divers drift past deep overhangs and limestone ledges that shelter schools of grunts, snappers, and resting nurse sharks. The confluence of currents frequently draws pelagics along the reef edge, while sea turtles cruise above the gorgonian gardens.
