Santa Rosa Shallows
Santa Rosa Shallows is Cozumel's easy second dive.
Patchy shallow reef off Cozumel with mild current, busy reef life, and an easy drift feel after the wall.
About Santa Rosa Shallows
Santa Rosa Shallows is Cozumel's easy companion to the Santa Rosa Wall, with a patchy reef top, sandy breaks, and a relaxed drift feel. It is a good second dive for divers who want the classic Cozumel reef experience, active fish life, and healthy coral patches without committing to the wall's deeper profile. The site fits a simple day plan and keeps the pace friendly for teams that want a lighter second tank.
