Ojo de Agua
Shallow halocline shore dive in Puerto Morelos.

Easy shore logistics and a very shallow profile make Ojo de Agua useful for checkouts or night dives, but visibility can look milky around the freshwater upwelling.
About Ojo de Agua
Ojo de Agua is a very shallow shore dive on the Puerto Morelos waterfront where a freshwater spring mixes into the sea and creates a shimmering halocline over patch reef and coral heads. It is commonly used as an easy checkout, night, or relaxed photo-style dive because the route stays close to shore while still offering schooling reef fish, hunting barracuda, and other small Caribbean life.

Low visibility
Safety Notes
Expect a halocline and occasional cloudier water around the spring, so keep navigation simple and stay close to your buddy, especially on dusk or night entries. Boots or sturdy footwear help with the beach entry.
Legal Notes
Ojo de Agua sits inside the Puerto Morelos reef protected area, so local marine-park rules and any same-day operator guidance apply. Guided dives may include a separate marine-park fee.
