Cozumel's west coast is protected national park and the visibility routinely runs past thirty metres. The reef drops off into blue and you drift along it with almost no effort.
Palancar is the famous one, a maze of swim-throughs and coral heads. Santa Rosa Wall is the dramatic one. Columbia is deeper and quieter, with big coral pinnacles standing off the wall.
We run these days aboard the Xaman-Ha, our partner boat, with an Empathy guide travelling with you. You pay the same as booking direct — we never mark up a partner trip.
