Dive Sites

(Class 1) Shallow Reefs - 15 to 40 feet
Perfect sites for Discover Scuba, Scuba Diver, Jr Open Water and newly certified Open Water divers. Experienced divers can enjoy relaxing dives with long bottom times.

15-20 feet
Shore Dive Underground exit of fresh Cenote water creates a halocline in the ocean. Numerous large coral heads have lots of life. Large barracudas are often spotted.

Rodman​

17 feet - Small reef in the National Park north of the town of Puerto Morelos. This reef is a good option for when the winds are too strong to visit other sites.

Fish Market

25 to 30 feet - Low spreads of coral and large schools of fish. This site makes an excellent second dive after a deep dive. Often with a mild current.

Mini Wall​

Paraiso​

30 feet - Spots of colorful reef in every direction interspersed with sandy areas. Great for site for teaching.

Bajito​

25 to 30 feet - This site inside the Puerto Morelos National Park has beautiful canyons, swim throughs and small caves of coral. Lots of sea life of all types.

(Class 2) Intermediate Reefs - 40 to 70 feet
Excellent sites for photography. Open Water certification or greater required. These are some of our favorite reefs with a great variety of life and healthy corals. There are almost no Lionfish to be found at these reefs and thus the small fish populations are on the rebound.

Aquarium

45 to 50 feet - Most requested dive site! "Fingers" of coral that create canyons to explore. Big schools of pork fish and French grunts. Like diving in an Aquarium.

Pargos

50 to 60 feet - Named for the resident groupers.

60 feet - Small coral caves, many creatures have found a home here.

Puente

60 feet - Bridge of coral near the end of the dive with big schools of pork fish. Open enough to swim through. Excellent dive for photos.

C-56 Juan Escutia Shipwreck

70 to 90 feet - This WWII era US Navy minesweeper was donated to Mexico and scuttled in 2000 to make an artificial reef and is now fully encrusted in corals. Divers in the winter time are often thrilled to see spotted eagle rays. There is a resident green moray eel and stingrays in the sand around the wreck. Experienced divers can tour the inside of the wreck with the guide.

Islas​

80 to 90 feet - Multiple islands of coral to explore. Excellent site for Lionfish hunting. This is the site that dive professionals pay to dive, when they are not working.

100 feet - Named for Alice from the UK that helped us explore it. Hills of coral, large green moray eels, sometimes turtles and lots of bigger fish.

Alicias Dos​

100 feet - Alicias reef is just too big to be one dive. This is the second section.

​Sponges

​



​80 to 90 feet - This site is named for the abundance of sponges found here. Lots of creatures call this reef home.

90 to 100 feet - Morena means eel in Spanish. We often see so many eels at this site it can be hard to count them all.

(Class 4) Advanced - 100 to 130 feet
Advanced Open Water dive certification and record of logged dives required. Nitrox certification highly recommended. These are the sites that push the boundaries. Strong currents let you fly along the bottom. Plentiful Lionfish will test your skill as a hunter. The deeper you go the bigger the life gets.

Tortugas Reef

110 feet - Strong current (3 to 4 knots). Circular depressions edged in ledges where nurse sharks and lion fish hide. Depressions provide protection from the current so you can explore the caves. Divers then pop back up in the current to find the next pocket.

Gatas Profundo

Shipwreck Tulum

130 feet - 50 minute boat ride takes you to a true shipwreck. There is no clear history of this wreck but we have found four of its pieces. Additional fuel surcharge, 4 diver minimum.

Exploration Dive

How do we find such amazing dive sites? By exploring of course. Sometimes we are following GPS numbers given to us by fisherman, sometimes we are pushed off the reef by the current and we stumble upon something new. It takes between 3-5 exploration dives to find the best route through the reefs. Join us for the ultimate adventure!
