Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and nurse sharks - Money Bar offers some of Cozumel's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Money Bar in Cozumel is a popular shore dive, great for knocking out an easy afternoon splash or a relaxed night dive. You’ll fin out from the beach, crossing a sandy patch before hitting the reef proper. It's a nice, gentle wall here, dotted with sponges and soft corals, and you often spot turtles munching on the seagrass on the way out. We think it’s a perfect spot for newer divers getting comfortable or experienced divers just wanting to log some easy bottom time.
Safety Notes
