Punta Tunich

Punta Tunich is a Cozumel drift dive we really enjoy, especially as a second dive when the current is running north. We’ve found the real action is up at the northern end of the reef, where the current tends to pick up. Here, you’re looking at a maximum depth of 21m, gliding past coral formations that include impressive Lesser Starlet and Lowridge Cactus Coral. Visibility usually hangs around the 27m mark, giving you plenty of lead time to spot what’s coming. Keep an eye out for big green moray eels tucked into the reef, their heads sometimes poking out to watch you drift by. We’ve also had good luck finding turtles taking a break in the adjacent seagrass beds – a nice, calm contrast to the faster drift on the coral. It’s a site that suits divers comfortable with current, offering a relaxed fly-by experience rather than a slow poke, and it’s one of our favourite spots for a steady drift.
