On Cozumel Island, we can dive into the depths of the crystal clear the Caribbean Sea in Cozumel's reefs. Fortunately for you, you've arrived at the ideal location to begin planning an unforgettable Caribbean vacation, with the following possibilities for getting your feet wet in the water.

Where can you go diving in Cozumel?

• Diving in Eco Park Punta Sur: The place par excellence where diving is a true privilege. As its name implies, this eco-park is located to the south of the entire island of Cozumel and distinguished by its iconic lighthouse that stands out in this place. It is considered one of the most notable ecological parks in all of Mexico due to the number of reefs and marine species that inhabit this zone.

Going into the depths of this place may lead you to the surprise of discovering some underground caves or caverns. If you consider yourself an expert diver, here, you will find one of the most complicated caves to reach called the Devil's Throat. It is certainly a challenge worth visiting for its unique topography that is better to discover on your own.

Punta Sur is considered the perfect place to start your PADI certification course because the waters are relatively calm with no currents to put you in danger. It is excellent for those just starting out in the sport, with the experience, fun and thrill of learning will be present at all times, making it the perfect place to visit.

• Diving expeditions to the Santa Rosa wall: Being another of the most known destination sites for diving in Cozumel, the Santa Rosa wall or Santa Rosa wall is recognised as one of the best places to come this holiday because the location facilitates access to the boats. Besides, the height of this wall ranges from 30 to 40 metres and has great rocky outcrops where you can even do vertical diving.

Of course, as a small cliff, it has some overhangs and sandy areas that lead to the bottom, but it is without a doubt a great place to go diving because it also has small caverns where some marine species such as crustaceans and large fish live, as well as a place where many more marine animals such as the incredible manta rays and sea turtles live.

Although some packages include accommodation, don't limit yourself to just one place to dive in the Caribbean. Instead, take advantage of the region's crystal clear waters and don't miss the chance to visit this natural wall. We guarantee that just seeing it will make you want to descend to the bottom and explore the caverns and passages.

• Diving in Paso del Cedral: This place has an abundance of marine life and flora, and is home to an incredible reef where it is common to see aquatic species such as turtles and angelfish.

Besides, the corals provide bright colour to this scenery, and as a diver, you will be awe-struck. The atmosphere will be magical, and it is a view to behold as if taken out of the movie 'Finding Nemo'.

If you are a first-time diver, Cozumel has the best places to start your journey to certification. So, it is the right place for beginner divers because of its zero underwater currents and no dangerous areas to damage the diving equipment.

But this place is only a small taste of what Cozumel and the Mexican Caribbean Sea is all about. This island is full of dive sites, and each one is different from the rest. In short, Cozumel is custom-made for lovers of marine life and exploring totally new places that are out of this world.

The perfect place to spend a vacation getting started in the world of diving, Cozumel is only 20 minutes by boat from Playa del Carmen. It harbours mysteries and spots that are little frequented by both certified and beginner divers, and although you may be lucky enough to see giant manta rays that migrate to some areas of Cozumel, it is the perfect place to spend a vacation getting started in the world of diving.
