Independent Playa del Carmen guide with advanced-only and marine-life notes.

Moc Che Deep is Playa del Carmen's advanced drift-wall reef.
Boat timing, drift control and depth make guided diving the normal way to run the site.
Moc Che Deep is a drift wall north of central Playa del Carmen, set between Coco Beach and Pared Verde. It is an advanced, current-driven reef for certified divers who want a long wall profile, coral and sponge cover, and bigger reef life rather than a shallow training dive. Plan it as a controlled drift with solid buoyancy, a full wetsuit, and steady attention to the guide and the wall.
