Agua Negra Cozumel
Agua Negra Cozumel is a boat-based blackwater night dive.
Local operator required
Blackwater runs from a marina with a dedicated boat and night briefing.
Plan a weather-flexible night drift with a floating light buoy, deep open water, and a pelagic focus rather than a reef route.
About Agua Negra Cozumel
Agua Negra Cozumel is a boat-based blackwater night dive off Cozumel. Divers work around a floating light buoy in open water, watching the water column instead of a reef profile. The site is about pelagic and juvenile life, so buoyancy control and comfort at night matter more than coral terrain. Plan it with flexible dates because weather determines whether the boat can run.
