In the day is at the shipwreck, diving through the three levels including the machine room and captain’s room, we continue if the air allows us, in a reef just a few feets distance from the shipwreck, this is the southern part of the Chan- ka-naab Reef.

Finishing this dive will provide lunch ., its time to rest and do our surface interval .

Our second dive

Will be on one of the beautiful reefs that Cozumel offers, with more than 10 different options to choose from. Drift diving for this second dive.

The current for these dives is medium to strong. The visibility as in the whole island is impressive. Without a doubt, this shipwreck diving experience is one that you should have on the island of Cozumel.
