1. COZUMEL
General
information.
Cozumel is a world famous diving area. The reefs are
spectacular, with a prolific number of sponges and interesting coral
formations. Fish are in abundance, including groupers, cowfish, wrasse, angel fish and Cozumel’s Splendid Toadfish.
Dive sites accessible from Cozumel
include the Palancar Reef. Stretching for about a
mile, this is characterised by enormous living coral boulders and deep
channels. It is a good place to see chubs, creole
wrasse, groupers and snappers - to name but a few. Another excellent site is
Santa Rosa Reef, where you can find large angelfish squirrelfish, barracuda and
a tremendous variety of small tropicals.
The majority of the boat diving in
Cozumel is drift diving. Divers drift effortlessly,
generally in a mild current over Cozumel’s fantastic kilometres of reef.
ACCOMMODATION
Rooms at the Safari Inn are located above the dive base. All
have en-suite bathroom facilities and air-conditioning. The rooms are
comfortable, and their location along the sea front allows for easy access to
Aqua Safari's dive boats and the town of San Miguel de Cozumel.
Other hotels in Cozumel on a b&b or all-inclusive basis available on request.
