Cozumel lies at the northern end of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, so you can expect to find lovely coral reefs and a fair number of drop-offs and pinnacles. Palancar Reef is the most famous dive spot, where you can enjoy incredible visibility (up to 200 feet) and a number of animals that include sea turtles, eagle rays, and all sorts of tropical fish.
Most of the diving is done off the western coast, where ocean currents draw sharks and schooling pelagics. However, drift diving is slow and easy-going; Cozumel is a beginner-friendly destination.

If You’re Looking for Beautiful Coral Reefs
Like other islands in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the reefs in Cozumel have beautiful hard corals and scenic swim-throughs. Divers commonly spot eagle rays and sea turtles, but an eclectic assortment of smaller critters hide within the coral heads, like seahorses and toadfish.
If You Want to Dive the Cenotes
Cozumel is only a short crossing from Tulum, the gateway for divers who want to explore Mexico’s famous cenotes. The cenotes are underground rivers with spectacular grottos and cavernous rock formations. No cave diving experience is required; most of the cenote diving is done in open-air caverns.
If You Enjoy Mellow Diving
Cozumel is mostly drift diving, but the currents are pretty slow and there’s excellent visibility. It’s a good place to go if you’re traveling with beginning divers. However, the island does have a few dive sites that are thrilling for advanced divers: further from shore there are deep walls, underwater pinnacles, and powerful drifts.
Dreams Cozumel is a blissful, all-inclusive resort with a palm-studded beach and plenty of drink and dining options. Every room has an ocean view, and there’s connecting rooms available for larger families. The resort is only a short boat ride from many of Cozumel’s most famous dive sites.
