Santa Rosa Wall

About this site

Santa Rosa Wall is Cozumel's most thrilling drift dive — an almost vertical wall beginning at 7 m that plunges past 40 m with massive purple sea fans and tube sponges projecting into the blue. The incessant current keeps the water crystal clear and nutrient-rich, and the resident hawksbill turtles are so used to divers that they simply carry on grazing the sponge-covered wall. Eagle rays and black tip sharks appear regularly in the open water off the wall.
