Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and nurse sharks - Ujosa offers some of Cozumel's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Ujosa offers a relatively mellow drift dive along Cozumel's northern wall. Expect good visibility and a chance to spot green morays tucked into the coral and schooling grunts. The currents here are generally gentle, making it a good option for divers looking for a relaxing hour in the water without too much effort. It's a solid, unflashy dive for a multi-tank day.
