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.
