Best beaches for scuba diving in Cozumel
Cozumel offers many natural spots for scuba diving, catering to all skill levels. From shallow coral reefs perfect for beginners to deep walls and swim-throughs for advanced divers, there’s something for everyone. Here are the best spots:
Gardens of Palancar
An ideal place for beginners, this huge garden features colorful corals and tropical fish. Giant tunnels allow you to swim through, making the experience even more incredible. Experts recommend this spot for beginners due to its slight currents.
Santa Rosa Wall
This site is suited for intermediate divers. Santa Rosa wall is one of the most spectacular dive sites in Cozumel, where you can often see nurse sharks, eagle rays, turtles, and occasionally large hammerhead sharks cruising. However, it’s not suitable for beginners due to unpredictable currents.
Yucab
Yucab offers a spectacular variety of tropical reef fish and colorful corals, making it a popular spot for photographers. The reef has sandy flats and is home to lobsters, king crabs, shrimp, and even pipefish. Nurse sharks, green turtles, hawksbill turtles, and loggerhead turtles are often seen feeding here.
C-53 Wreck
This site features a ship that belonged to the Mexican Navy, named and numbered Felipe Xicotencatl C-53. It sank near Chankanaab Park in 1999 after being decommissioned and donated to the Cozumel Marine Park. The wreck is now filled with marine life and is a great Cozumel dive site. It sits upright on the ocean floor and is home to large groupers and green moray eels.
Columbia Deep
This spot is a favorite deep dive site of experienced divers. The site boasts numerous large coral pinnacles with various coral species and brightly colored sponges. Here, you can see large groupers, turtles, and reef sharks in the deeper section of the wall.
