The Wall

We’ll be honest, when we first looked at The Wall, we thought, "Is this it?" Max depth 11m, between two reef crests? Sounds… fine. But boy, were we wrong. This isn't your typical Cozumel rip-roaring drift, but it’s exactly why we love it. It’s all about the turtles here, specifically the green turtles. They graze the seagrass, completely unfazed by divers. You can spend an entire dive just watching them. We’ve seen them surface for air, then dive back down, kicking up little puffs of sand as they munch away. The visibility averages 15m, which is decent for a shallower site, and the light filtering through the water is just gorgeous. Beyond the turtles, keep an eye out for larger schooling fish. We’ve spotted big groups of grunts and yellowtail parrotfish. The coral formations here, while not massive, are healthy, with nice stony corals and sea fans adding texture. It’s a very relaxed dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who wants to slow down and really observe. This site suits newer divers or those who prefer a tranquil experience over a high-adrenaline drift. You might even spot a barracuda lurking in the blue.
