Pretend you are a fish in Cozumel waters.
Your friends might be the green sea and hawksbill turtles or the white-spotted eagle rays or the trumpetfish, blacktip reef sharks, and longspine squirrelfish. Or maybe the
mountainous star coral, finger coral, sheet coral, sea fans, and the one
coral feared by all - the fire coral. The favorite of all of Cozumel's
undersea creatures is it's own unique Cozumel splendid toadfish.
Holy and Sacred. The reef area on the west side along with the portions of eastern coast of the island are now a part of Mexican Underwater National Park program, therefore,
protected by the Mexican law. This means NO TOUCHING please. The newest
addition is the C-53 shipwreck.
NEW ADDITION! The Felipe Xicotencatl (C-53 shipwreck) is the latest addition to diving in the Mexican Underwater National Park. In fact, it's the only dive that is NOT a drift dive. It is a C-53 about 180 feet in length. The keel is at about 75 feet and the main decks start about 45 feet. The crow's nest at 22 feet is a perfect place to hang out while off gassing, unless of course there's a current at the time of your dive.
SAN FRANCISCO REEF (intermediate) is one dive that is very exciting and can be classified as NOT-TO-BE-MISSED and loaded with marine life. It has a huge variety of colorful marine life and has been known to be popular for sightings of sharks, eagle rays and eels.
BALONES OF CHANKANAAB (novice) is a series of balloon shaped coral heads dotted here and there just outside of Chankanaab. They are very colorful with is full of a variety of marine life, especially lobsters and crabs. Also if located right you might see the submarine coming down or going up. You'll most likely hear it at any cost. The depths range from 60 to 80 feet.
