If you’ve ever dreamed of flying underwater, Cozumel is your runway. Known for its crystal-clear visibility and the vibrant Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, this island offers a unique sensation: drift diving. ## 1. What Makes Cozumel Drift Diving So Unique?

In Cozumel, the current does the work for you. Instead of swimming against the tide, you simply neutralize your buoyancy and glide past towering coral pinnacles.

Effortless Exploration

Spend less energy and more time observing the marine life. Because you aren’t kicking constantly, your air lasts longer, giving you more bottom time.

Incredible Visibility

The currents keep the water moving, which means sediment doesn’t settle. Visibility often exceeds 100 feet (30 meters), making it a dream for underwater photography.

2. Why Choose Blue Mayan Divers for Your Cozumel Trip?

The biggest complaint about Cozumel diving is the “cattle boats” packed with 20+ divers. At Blue Mayan Divers, we focus on a boutique experience.

Small Groups for Personalized Safety

Our small-group philosophy means your dive master can actually see you, help you, and point out the tiny macro-life others miss.

Tailored Dive Sites

We don’t just go to the same three spots every day. We choose dive sites based on the day’s conditions and your skill level to ensure you have the best experience possible.

3. Top-Rated Dive Sites in Cozumel You Have to See
