    Cedral Wall, for us, is one of Cozumel’s truly standout drift dives. We love the way the current often carries you gently along, letting you soak in the view without much effort. You’ll start around 13 metres, then drift over the reef flat before the wall proper drops away. Our favourite part? The sheer density of reef fish here. Look closely, and you’ll spot yellowhead jawfish darting in and out of their sandy burrows, and we’ve often seen big schools of trumpetfish hanging vertically, blending in with the gorgonians. Keep an eye out for green morays tucked into crevices and, if you’re lucky, an eagle ray gliding by in the blue. Visibility is usually excellent, around 28 metres, which really makes the rose coral and smooth flower coral pop. It's a fantastic site for anyone who enjoys a relaxed drift, with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore along the wall down to around 21 metres.

    Safety Notes

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
