Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and nurse sharks - Deep Pole offers some of Cozumel's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Deep Pole, Cozumel, is an advanced drift dive that lives up to its name. You’ll descend into deeper sections of the Cozumel wall, often in strong currents, making it ideal for experienced divers comfortable with significant depths and faster movement. Keep an eye out for larger pelagics moving past in the blue. It’s a site for those who enjoy the thrill of a deeper drift, not for coral gazers.
