Cantarell

★★★★☆ (392)

Cantarel is a beautiful wall with nice drop-offs. In the right season, it is common to find groups of eagle rays. It is better to treat it as a strong drift dive, jump all together, and come out together. It can have a strong current, sometimes pushing out or/and down the wall.

Located in the North, this site is visited more often when the Eagle Rays migrate through Cozumel. This usually happens during mid January thru to the beginning of March.
