In this article, we invite you to immerse yourself in the beauty of Cozumel and discover five exceptional places to explore underwater.
Paradise Reef: A Nighttime Charm

Yucab: A Coral Feast full of life.
Yucab is famous for its coral masses known as "balones". Here, coral heads three meters high and up to five meters wide give life to an impressive underwater landscape. Explore this reef to encounter lobsters, moray eels and an infinite amount of life, which will make you feel like you are in a huge natural aquarium.
C53 Felipe Xicoténcatl: Wreck dive.
It was created in 1944 to serve as a minesweeper ship for the US Navy. He fought in World War II. The adoption of the ship by Mexico occurred in 1962, the year in which it was purchased by the Mexican Navy and baptized with its current name. From that date until 1999 it patrolled, as a gunboat, the seas of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico in search of weapons and illegal drugs. 23 years ago (June 5, 2000) it was sunk near Chankanaab Park to become a artificial reef that was, in addition to a tourist attraction, a refuge for marine life.
Santa Rosa Wall: The Adventure in the Deep
For lovers of deep dives, the Santa Rosa Wall is an experience like no other. An impressive vertical wall of several hundred meters offers ledges, caves and diverse marine life. Despite the fast currents that surround the reef, its calm interior invites you to explore at depths ranging between 10 and 30 meters.
