This dive site, Colombia Reef, is a renowned Cozumel location famous for its vibrant shallow coral gardens and dramatic deeper drop-off. Typically experienced as a drift dive due to moderate currents, navigation involves following the reef contour. The site features exciting swim-throughs and intriguing overhangs that add to the exploration.
Divers can expect a rich array of marine life, including spotted eagle rays, nurse sharks, and various turtles. Stingrays, moray eels, and abundant reef fish are common sightings. A highlight is the unique Splendid toadfish, an endemic species exclusive to Cozumel waters.
Colombia Reef is excellent for divers of all levels, with its shallow sections perfect for beginners and snorkelers, while the deeper drop-off and drift offer more for experienced divers. Freedivers will also enjoy the varied depths. The best time to visit is generally year-round, offering consistent visibility and marine encounters.
