Standard planning is a guided boat drift with operator-managed drop, pickup, and marine-park compliance.
Casa Blanca is a Cedral-area drift reef just south of the usual wall entry, often chosen as a selective drop when current is moving and divers want to stay on reef longer instead of burning through the shallows too quickly. Broken coral structure, sand channels, and larger reef life make it a repeat-diver favorite for sharks, green morays, turtles, and other bigger encounters without the same routine boat traffic as Cozumel's marquee southern reefs.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
11m - 18m
Depth Note
Public tourism material places Casa Blanca around 35 to 60 feet, and a recent logged dive stayed in the shallow-to-mid 40-foot range.
Typical Conditions
Can experience fast current, which may suit divers seeking longer drift-style bottom times.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Current can be fast; plan the dive for drift conditions and maintain awareness for large marine life encounters.
Access Restrictions
Casa Blanca is normally accessed by boat inside Cozumel's protected reef system, so visits should follow operator pickup plans and marine-park restrictions.
Legal Notes
Marine-park rules apply at Casa Blanca: do not touch coral or marine life, do not collect anything, and restricted items such as gloves or knives are generally prohibited.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Works well as an alternative jump-in point when current is fast or when divers want to maximize bottom time.
Snorkeling
Casa Blanca appears on some guided Cozumel snorkel circuits, but it is best treated as a calm-weather, boat-supported snorkel option rather than an independent swim.
