Dive-site story
Located in the protected waters south of Isla Mujeres, this site features a low-profile spur-and-groove reef system riddled with undercut ledges and small coral overhangs. Divers drift along sandy channels between coral ridges, peering into crevices where nurse sharks regularly rest during daylight hours. The shallow profile allows for long bottom times under clear Caribbean conditions.
Extensive coral overhangs sheltering resting nurse sharks
Schools of French grunts and yellowtail snappers hovering along reef edges
Calm, shallow drift diving suitable for relaxed exploration and photography
