Reef
Best understood as a resort-front shore site with pier-assisted support: easy for beginner scuba and guided snorkeling, but comfort still depends on surface chop and hotel access.
About Palace Reef
Palace Reef is a shallow hotel-front reef at Cozumel Palace, with easy access to clear west-coast water, scattered coral growth, and small reef fish close to shore. It suits relaxed beginner scuba and guided snorkeling when conditions are settled, with the resort pier making pickups and simple in-water sessions easier to manage.
