Diving and marine life in Cozumel Municipality

Cozumel's marine ecosystem features a diverse range of underwater environments, from the protected lagoons of Xel-Há to the challenging currents of Barracuda Reef. This selection includes the El Paso del Cedral Reef, known for its dense fish populations, and Cantarell Sand Reef, a seasonal gathering spot for spotted eagle rays. On the island's windward side, Chen Rio provides a calmer alternative with natural tide pools formed by limestone rocks, offering a unique contrast to the deep-water scuba sites along the western coast.
