Palancar Caves

Depth: 60' - 100'

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced

Another of Cozumel's most popular deep dives because of its deep buttresses, tunnels, caves and big caverns that sit along the edge of a sloping wall. Currents are usually mild and marine life is abundant. Turtle, shark and ray sightings are very common.

The Palancar Reef sites are considered to be Cozumel's most famous dive sites. The shallower sections will please snorkelers as well. There are four distinct dive sites here, Palencar Gardens, Horseshoe, Caves, and Bricks. Palancar Caves and Bricks are the deepest sections. Turtles are almost sure to be sited as well as countless other beautifully colored reef fish. Palancar Reef should be part of any Cozumel dive trip.
