Puentes

Puentes really is a standout for us in Cozumel, especially if you’re looking for something a bit different from the usual drift dives. It’s shallower, topping out at around 18 metres, which means we get fantastic light penetration, really showing off those hard coral formations. And those formations? They’re the main event here – natural bridges of coral that you can actually swim through. It’s not a huge site, so we usually take our time, weaving in and out of the arches. We've seen some surprisingly large residents here too, often bigger yellowfin grunts than you’d expect, hanging around the overhangs, along with plenty of filefish. If you keep an eye on the sand patches between the coral, we've spotted Atlantic Lookdowns shimmering in the current. Visibility averages around 21 metres, so you’ll get clear views of the structures. It’s not for speed demons; we love it for a relaxed second dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who just wants to explore those unique coral bridges at a leisurely pace.
