COZUMEL SCUBA DIVING - PALANCAR CORAL REEF
Mexico is a beautiful place to Scuba Dive, and Cozumel is one of the top scuba diving and snorkeling destinations in the Riviera Maya the Caribbean. It's unique for its drift diving, marine life, and beautiful dive sites. There are a few in particular, called Palancar Bricks, Palancar Gardens, and Palancar Caves. These sites are all part of Palancar coral reef, and are like swimming through a cathedral. Towers and caves of coral rise over you, and run beneath you.
Cozumel is a special island. During the day the big cruise ships, especially Carnival Cruises, unload thousands of people looking for Cozumel excursions. Most go shopping, but the smart few find a local dive shop and get on a boat. If you travel all this way and don't see underwater, you're missing the biggest draw to the island.
I ended up doing a lot of dives here over the past couple years. When editing this video, it was hard for me to cut it into a few minutes for youtube. I settled on just cutting together the dive of Palancar Gardens. That's the dive site if you're curious!

STARFISH SANCTUARY and PALANCAR REEF SNORKEL / COZUMEL, MEXICO
Spent half of our day exploring Cozumel's beautiful marine life. We started our journey on a beautiful catamaran and our first stop was Palancar reef, Cozumel’s most iconic reef and after that we made our way to El Cielo (Heaven) this name simply describes the place. We got to explore crystal clear blue water and did some snorkeling around shallow sand strip teeming with stunning starfish, the only natural starfish sanctuary in Mexico.

The reef slopes outward to the reef edge and deeply convoluted lip. The corals form tall towers, spires and buttresses, caves, gullies and canyons. Deep fissures run under the corals and sand slopes plummet into the depths. There are countless caves and canyons along this stretch of reef.
Palancar Reef is a large coral reef located on the southwest side of the island of Cozumel and is part of the Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park. The site is very popular with scuba divers and is divided into several sections based on depth & coral formations. Palancar is considered one of the best dive sites in the world.

Snorkeling With Big Fish at Palancar Reef In Cozumel
On a snorkeling trip in Cozumel I made the mistake of feeding the fish... which attracted a lot of fairly large fish. They started nipping my hands and pockets for food! I was so distracted by the fish nipping at me that unfortunately I did not start the camera recording until after the fish had calmed down... so this video isn't very dramatic. At least it shows you the size of the fish we were swimming with.
This was at Palancar reef off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico.

COZUMEL SNORKELING TIPS & Creepy Animals
Best snorkeling from the shore in Cozumel Mexico. After spending $40 on snorkel boat tours, A local told me that a place called Playa Corona was much better. You could snorkel from the beach and it was free. That was once true. After hurricane Wilma, the coral reef near the shore is gone there as well as the nearby Sky Reef. I’m not sure if the wave action crushed the reef to a pulp or if Wilma just buried it with sand. Probably both. The deeper reefs away from the shore are still intact and thriving well. You can take several snorkeling tours that will guide you. The best snorkeling form the shore we found was at El Presidente Resort and Spa. For three nights we stayed right on the crystal clear turquoise waters and lounged in the many palapas, bungalows, pools and hot tubs. Ocean sunset dinners were spectacular and The food was so fresh it was practically crawling off your plate. We ended up snorkeling from the beach there the entire rest of our vacation exploring a couple small coral outcroppings and the sunken barge thingie. You can rent snorkel gear at El Presidente and The staff was extremely friendly.
