This beautiful reef sits in about 80 feet of water and is a popular diving spot.

Palancar Caves, Palancar Gardens, Palancar Big Caves, Palancar Bricks.....all great dive sites. A good Dive operation will take the time and expense to drive their boats down to the southern dive sites where visiting scuba divers will see the best variety of sea life, coral mounts, swim throughs, and pelagics. We had a great experience with ScubaLife.

Underwater wall with spectacular coral reefs.
Reviewed By chadmicsmith - Portland, United States
One of my favorite spots in Cozumel, Santa Rosa Wall kind of has it all with healthy reef that goes down as deep as you're willing to venture (we typically hang around 70-80 ft.) and some really cool swim throughs! The dive ends on the sand where we've been lucky enough to catch rays and larger fish like grouper hanging out waiting to put a finale on what is always an enjoyable dive. A must when diving Cozumel!

Giant sea turtles and groupers await those with the courage (and the experience) to brave the fierce currents at this diving site.
Reviewed By knucklebusted - Bowling Green, United States
This was the first dive of the morning we did with Dive with Martin and we saw many things, including an octopus, spiny lobster, stingrays and a turtle. We did a really nice, large swim-through that was pretty impressive. This is one of the really great reefs available to dive off the coast of Cozumel.

We loved our day trip to Cozumel Pearl Farm! Isabel was very responsive leading up to our trip and she is so knowledgeable and passionate about their pearl farm project. The 45 minute boat ride to the farm is very enjoyable. The private beach is amazing and the turquoise waters are so beautiful. It was a nice variety of activities including snorkeling, beach time, educational time, and eating a delicious lunch. 2020 was a difficult year for them with COVID, hurricanes and even robberies on their property, but their positive attitude shines through and with the return of tourism, they have many plans to rebuild and improve upon the farm. Book this tour- you won't be disappointed!

We just left the Islands beach club. We loved our time spent there. Staff was helpful & fun! Very clean facilities. Wasn’t overly crowded & food was excellent!

The view is amazing and is not that difficult. Narrow stairs but lots of people going upstairs and downstairs so lots of fun. It's a must see in Punta Sur, and lots of other things to see in the museum at same spot. You drive further in the park and you'll find one of the best beaches in this part of Mexico
