 Santa
Rosa: this reef wall is considered one of the best
dive sites in the area. Beginning at a depth of just
50 feet, the reef falls to great depth. When descending,
cuts in the wall offer refuge from the pull of the current.
The many caves found along the wall show off big grouper,
smooth fans of gorgonia and giant sponges. The average
depth is 80 feet.
Paso del Cedral:
Covered with patches of random coral, the small area
of the "Passage of the Cedral" is a submarine
community where great green eels live. The current here
is moderate to strong and a depth of just 60 feet.
 Palancar:
The most famous site on the island is, without a
doubt, the well-known mountain of coral called Palancar.
The French oceanographer Jacque Ives Cousteau visited
the island in 1954 and was surprised at the beauty of
the place, which from then on became world famous and
the island became as it is now one of the premier dive
locations in the world. To dive in Palancar is like
flying in the midst of gigantic tubes of chorale that
fall vertically into the depths of the ocean.
Punta Sur: Located between the reefs of Columbia
and Maracaibo, the reef system called South End is without
a doubt one of the most deep and impressive dives on
the island of
Cozumel, where lies the famous Devil´s Throat
where the diver enters into the mouth of a single cave
at 50 feet of depth and comes out at 130 feet. The reefs
of the South End, being less visited than the others,
are more colorful and resplendant in its marine fauna,
the depth here is 60 to 70 feet in the high part of
the great mountain ranges and 110 to 90 ft. to at heart
sandy
San Gervacio: : is the largest archeological
site of the island of Cozumel. In addition to being
a strategic commercial and political site, San Gervacio
was also a Mayan sacred center.
