Condições de Mergulho
The water temperature averages 85° F/ 29° C in the summer and 77° F/ 25° C in the winter.
Drift diving is a common type of dive in Cozumel because outside the area between the reefs, the currents can get strong. The currents can be unpredictable and change directions. Some days divers may experience a phenomenon called the washing machine, a sort of “tornado” that can turn one head over heels.
Visibility in Cozumel is great all year round, usually around 80-100 feet (24-30 meters).

Palancar Reef
The Cozumel reef is part of the Mesoamerican Reef, the second largest reef system on Earth. Divers from all over the world come to admire the plentitude of fish and the colorful corals surrounding the island. There’s one reef in Cozumel that stands out among all others.
Palancar is the popular reef among divers because of the giant coral growths that formed stunning caves, spirals, towers, and canyons. The area is teeming with life, including sharks, snappers, rays, triggerfish, jacks, and turtles. Palancar reef is divided into four sections based on coral formations and depth: Palancar Horseshoe, Palancar Gardens, Palancar Bricks, and Palancar Caves.

Cozumel’s healthy reefs abound in a variety of fascinating marine creatures. Divers can make an encounter with nurse sharks, green moray eels, groupers, barracudas, parrotfish, jacks, hawksbill turtles, and smaller animals like butterflyfish, shrimps, seahorses, and pipehorses, among others. Pipefish and pipehorses are actually some of the most photographed macro subjects in Cozumel.
