About this dive site

This dive site on Cozumel's remote east coast offers a completely different experience from the sheltered west side. It features dramatic, untouched coral formations and a wild, rugged seascape. Dives here are highly condition-dependent and are only for experienced divers comfortable with strong currents and surge.
