Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and nurse sharks - Casa Blanca offers some of Cozumel's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Casa Blanca is one of those sites we always try to hit when we're in Cozumel, often overlooked because it's a little south of Cedral Wall's main entry. That's a shame, because we think it's got its own quiet magic. You're dropping onto a gently sloping wall, topping out around 10 meters, and it's just teeming with little things if you take the time to look. We’ve seen plenty of Yellowhead Wrasse darting in and out of the coral, and those Eyed Flounder do a fantastic job of disappearing into the sand. Keep an eye out for Marbled Morays peeking from crevices. We often find Caribbean Spiny Lobsters tucked away in the shadows, too. The real highlight for us, though, is how often you’ll spot turtles cruising by, completely unfazed. Visibility here usually sits around 27 meters, a bright, clear blue that really lets the colours pop. It’s also a smart jumping-off point if you’ve got good air consumption or the current is really ripping south. It allows you to stretch your dive along the reef without feeling rushed. This site is perfect for divers who appreciate a relaxed drift and enjoy spotting smaller, often missed creatures rather than just chasing the big stuff.
