Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and nurse sharks - Moc Che Deep offers some of Cozumel's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Moc Che Deep often delivers a drift dive along a wall that drops into the blue. We typically see nurse sharks tucked under ledges and plenty of green moray eels. Look out for the resident barracuda patrolling the reef top. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with current looking for larger species.
Safety Notes
Strong currents typical this month (avg 79 cm/s). Good buoyancy control essential.
