Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and nurse sharks - Aristos offers some of Cozumel's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Aristos in Cozumel often gets overlooked for some of its flashier neighbours, but it's a solid drift dive. We usually find groups of eagle rays cruising overhead here, especially in winter. The current can be brisk, so it’s best for divers comfortable with a good pace, but the shallow depth makes it accessible for many. It’s a great spot to just relax and let the reef come to you.
