Palancar Reef

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

Reviewed By Larry-Crystal - Florence, United States

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.

Santa Rosa Wall

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!

Columbia Reef

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.

Snorkel surrounded by awesome rock formations. Ride through the jungle on our all-terrain. Rappel down into a cenote (underground cave) and swim in a unique natural pool. Enjoy nature flying over the jung

Reviewed By keelyo600 - Newport Beach, United States

We had an amazing time on the Jungla Maya Native Park tour! We chose this one because of its close proximity to our hotel. Our drivers were very knowledgeable about the local region and history of the Maya. The combination of the rappelling, ziplining and snorkeling in the cenote is sure to get your adrenaline going! At first I didn't think I could pull off the rappelling, but our tour guide Alejandro was awesome..kept me calm and talked me through it so I was comfortable. He was very informative of the local flora & fauna, bilingual, and well versed in all the activities. Highly recommend this tour if you are a thrill seeker. :)

Cenote Zacil-Ha

Reviewed By AstralTravelMX

This place is very beautiful! Cenote is small but fresh, crystal-clear and they even have a very high zip-line you could use, if you dare. There are all sort of things available for purchase there, sunscreen, hats, cellphone covers... Also, there is food and beverage service there, so you could spend the day and order a beer and a few snaks. When you get tired of the cenote, they also have a big pool, loungers and resting areas. Go early because it gets busy very quicly.

Reviewed By courtneys415

Great time zip lining, riding ATV’s, and exploring the cenotes on Dec 13th, 2020. Cesar and Rodrigo were so accommodating and spoke great English. Just awesome guys to spend the day with! We stayed in Cancun in the hotel zone, they picked us up and took us back. The entire day was VERY adventurous but we never felt like we weren’t safe. This excursion was absolutely perfect for our brave and adventurous 10 & 13 year olds. The zip lines are pretty intense, not for the faint of heart. Pretty amazing and authentic food included with our package. Such an awesome atmosphere and was a very “chill” non-touristy place. We decided that this experience made our whole trip to Cancun worth it. Can’t say enough.

Cenote Misterio Maya

Reviewed By 142dexterm - Camarillo, United States

There are several Cenote in this site, all are interesting, but unless you scuba, Cenote Dos Ojos is better for basic swimming. Mister in Maya is an incredible snorkel trip deep into the cavern! Flashlights required as you journey quite deep inside. The ticket includes both Misterio and Los Monos Cenotes. Los Monos is definitely our favorite. You journey deeper and the stalactites are more awe-inspiring! It can be a bit claustrophobic, as you need to climb through some tight areas but worth the effort!! Equipment is provided but reef shoes are a help. My girlfriend wore the wetsuit but the water was warm enough where I was fine without. The scuba dive available at Dos Ojos makes me want to get certified!! Really cool looking!!
