Shore reef and wall with strong night-dive value.
Simple shore entry on Cozumel's west side; plan a one-way wall dive with changing current and strong night-dive value.
About Las Palmas Reef
Shore-access reef on Cozumel's west side with a gentle wall, sandy breaks, and scattered coral heads. It is a strong night-dive option, but the route works best as a one-way dive with the exit planned farther north. Expect changing current direction along the wall and a lot of small-reef life after dark, especially near the coral heads.
