Cozumel Dive Sites Paso del
Most dive operators dive Cedral as the morning second dive, but we have found it to be less crowded and even more photogenic when dived it as the first dive of the day. It is possible to start the dive on Cedral Wall, but its unlikely you'll have enought bottom time to do them both on the same dive.
Cedral is considered to be a novice to intermediate level dive. There is a sandy area south of where the reef starts that is worth checking out. Although the current can be strong here, ask your dive guide to point out the small caves where large lobster and giant green eels are sometimes found. Keep your eyes open for free swimming eels and sharks. There are ususally several pair of French angelfish and gray angelfish that also cruise over the sand just before the reef.
The best camera set-up for this reef would be a wide angle angle lens. There is also plenty of great macro here but large schools of fish next to the vibrant orange, red and yellow sponges makes for some great photos. If youre using a camera that allows you to switch lenses underwater this would be an ideal dive site to use it. You dont want to miss a shot of this spectacular site. As with all the dives in Cozumel, follow your dive guide. If you wish to dive any reef in Cozumel different the normal flow of things be sure to discuss this with your Divemaster before getting into the water. RECENT IMAGES FROM PASO DEL CEDRAL |
