Cozumel
The names of some of these dive sites are hallowed in divers’ log books – Palancar Reef – Colombia Reef – Santa Rosa Wall – to mention a few. The currents that carry divers along Cozumel’s dramatic drop-offs have made this one of the world’s top dive destinations. There's a wide variety of shopping, dining and accommodation options (even all-inclusives) which makes Cozumel a popular choice for divers and non-divers alike. In addition to top-notch diving, there are plenty of topside activities to fill the non-diving hours: beautiful beaches, dolphin encounters and nature parks not to mention day trips to the mainland for Maya ruin tours or cenote diving. The laid-back atmosphere of the “dive town” of San Miguel and its friendly people brings divers back again and again.
