Without a doubt, the best and most well-known attractions of Cozumel are its spectacular reefs, numerous and varied in their formation, location, access and difficulty. They form an important part of a long coral barrier (2nd largest in the world) known as the Great Mayan Barrier that extends from Contoy Island in the north (located n the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula) to the Gulf of Honduras in Central America.
For their dazzling variety and beauty, the reefs of Cozumel deserve their reputation as among the best in the world. Also contributing to their popularity is their easy access and availability year - round. The water remains clear all four seasons and water temperature fluctuates from 25ºC to 28ºC (77ºF - 82ºF) with an average air temperature of 24ºC (76ºF). |
