About Barracuda - Cozumel

Barracuda - Cozumel is a north-end drift reef on the outside of the marine park, and it is one of the island's most demanding dives. The reef drops into deep water, currents can run hard and unpredictably, and the site is usually reserved for expert charter days. When conditions line up, the payoff is clear Cozumel water, big pelagics, and a reef that stays relatively uncrowded because the flow keeps casual traffic away.
