Santa Rosa Shallows (★4.5)

Santa Rosa Shallows is the counterpart of the famous Santa Rosa Wall. The shallows are a great second dive after exploring the deeper wall. The reef here isn’t any deeper than 60 feet with a mild current; excellent for viewing the buzzing reef activity all along the patchy reef system.

Dive with Purpose Cozumel, 77675 Cozumel

Santa Rosa Wall (★4.6)

Almost exactly in front of the Occidental Cozumel hotel, this wall offers divers breath-taking views of the abyss under the steep pdrop off as well as many pass-throughs between the deep blue and the safety of a relatively shallow shelf. A few adjacent shallower coral balls offer a suitable spot for a safety stop.

Arroyo - San Pedro (★4.6)

A great morning dive with sea lions! Black coral forests, schools of groupers, but the sea lions are the stars of the show. Max depth 90 ft, water temp low to mid 80s.

Aqualung

Chankanaab Bolones (★4.4)

This reef is in front of Chakanaab Park. Mild currents make this a good dive for novices. The abundance of sea life make this an interesting dive for all levels, although it can be deeper in some areas (average 21m/ 70 feet) so good air consumption is important to maximize bottom time.
