Las Palmas is a reef located close to Paradise Reef, opposite a spot where there were once some palm trees. The highlights of this site are the beautiful brain corals, tube sponges, and rope sponges.

The spot is often dived at night, and it is full of creatures of all sorts – stingrays, sergeant majors, parrotfish, angelfish, juvenile tangs, honeycombed cowfish, batfish, seahorses, urchins, and many others.

Diving in Cozumel As I said, Cozumel is the second largest coral reef in the world and the island is one of the best dive sites. To discover the underwater secrets of Cozumel, travelers can choose from snorkeling or scuba diving. You can not miss a waterproof machine to record all the scenery and of course you in them. There are many diving spots on the island, but the best ones are concentrated south of the island, on the famous Santa Rosa coral wall, with more than 40 meters of depth and numerous species of fish, anemones, lobsters, turtles and even sharks. Paso del Cedral is another breakwater that requires a deep dive, with the opportunity to see big fish, morays, turtles, lobsters, sharks and many other marine animals. With visibility up to 70 meters deep, multicolored coral gardens and caves, the Palancar Reef is another must-see! For those who want to snorkel only, the Chankannab Underwater National Park has a huge lagoon that looks more like an aquarium full of marine life. There are plenty of agencies that offer boat trips with diving and / or snorkeling. Most tours leave the pier in the center of Cozumel, but there are also boat trips that leave from Playa del Carmen and other points of the Riviera Maya.
