Yucab Reef - Cozumel

Depth 50'-60'
Yucab generally has a strong current, which encourages healthy reef growth. It is a low profile reef. Reef heads range from 10'- 20' tall. If your air consumption is good, and the current is strong, you can finish your dive on Tormentos reef.
In the turtle grass look for sting rays, Sea Horses, Puffer fish, and maybe you can find a Short Big Eye fish, which are very rare.
After cruising the turtle grass, you will come to the main part of the reef. There are large schools of grunts, Schoolmasters, and large numbers of French and Queen Angelfish.
You will see an occasional turtle.

Yucab Reef - Drift Drive, Cozumel, Mexico 2019

This is the second dive for the day.The Yucab reef was a welcomed easier dive after the Santa Rosa Wall. The strong currents (particularly strong on this day) make it fun as you to just drift by. At only 15m down it is an entry level dive and good exposure to drift diving. We used Beyond Diving who operate direct boat trips from Playa Del Carmen. Cozumel in Mexico is a spot no diver should miss.

18. Scuba Diving in Cozumel, Mexico. Chankanaab Bolones Reef. GoPro Hero4 Silver

Spring Break Scuba diving trip to Cozumel Mexico trip with the Aquatic Connection. March 13 to March 20 , 2016. The reef is called Chankanaab Bolones and the visibility was the worst dive of the trip. I was diving with my favorite dive company Dive Paradise and staying at Hotel Cozumel and Resort. After over 100 dives with this company I highly recommend them. Everyone from the dive masters, captains, crew and office staff are fantastic.

The video was filmed with two GoPro Hero4 Silver cameras in 1080p 60fps wide aspect ratio. Backscatter FLIP 3.1 Dive and Deep Filters were used.
