Santa Rosa Wall

Almost exactly in front of the Occidental Cozumel hotel, this wall offers divers breath-taking views of the abyss under the steep pdrop off as well as many pass-throughs between the deep blue and the safety of a relatively shallow shelf. A few adjacent shallower coral balls offer a suitable spot for a safety stop.

Marine life at this site

Turtles and eage rays travel between the shallows and the wall, and seahorses can be seen on top of the wall, and hammerhead sharks are frequent, brief visitors from the depths.
