2016-03-29 - Blue Shark Reef, Cozumel, Mexico, Mexico
26.3m - 29 min - Dived with Alex Salas
This was an interesting dive to the North end of Cozumel. We were 4-5KM NW of the North End light house on a random reef head that our dive guide Alex Salas of Alex Adventures had in a GPS device. We were on an acquaintances boat by the name of the Sandra Lucia (Linda). The owner was Jorge and he was diving with Alex, Bella and myself. The ride was uncomfortable as I felt they drove the boat recklessly with a couple of young children on the boat and they did not wear life vests. They were going too fast over the 4-6ft seas. We saw a couple of Blue Sharks and speared a Barracuda.
2nd dive of the day with Alex Adventures Cozumel. Alex Salas is a good guide. San Juan reef is usually done as a second dive after Barracuda or Cantarel. Depth 40-60'. You can go deeper than this towards the drop off. Experience level. Expert, due to strong currents and danger of being lost at sea. Located on the north end of the island, this reef area can be dangerous to dive if current is running fast. There are few other boats there, if any. However, if the weather is good and the sea is calm, this is a very nice dive and can be done safely. Expect to descend, dive, and ascend as a group. The coral here is generally low profile, dominated by huge beautiful fields of finger coral which houses thousands of Damselfish, and red seaweed, and strangely shaped barrel sponges. There are also nice patches of lettuce coral. There are a few ledges and overhangs with French Grunts and Schoolmasters under them, but are smaller than the ones in the Cedral reef area. On any reef in Cozumel you can see any fish or animal at a given time. Below is a general guide.
