Iberostar Waves Cozumel
Saturday, September 5 – Saturday, September 12, 2026
Located on the southwest corner of Cozumel. A warm and inviting, open-air resort, where charming bungalows replace typical hotel rooms. The bungalows are complete with private patios and hammocks, where you can relax after a long day of diving. Iberostar Cozumel is an excellent place to take advantage of some of the greatest scuba diving and snorkeling you’ll ever experience.
Cozumel brings together all the elements needed for a perfect dive vacation. A small, friendly town sits on the sheltered western shore of an island washed by warm, clear waters. This life-giving flow nurtures luxuriant growths of sponges and corals that cover the ledges, ridges and drop-offs and support an underwater menagerie of fish and invertebrates. These same currents propel divers on exhilarating but controlled drifts as they go with the flow. Adding to the appeal are direct flights from the US, a wide range of beachfront hotels to enjoy, and dive boats that make easy runs in calm waters to sites less than a mile from shore.
About Diving in Cozumel
All diving in Cozumel takes place on the island’s western shore, which is sheltered from prevailing easterly winds and surf. The shore drops from shallow reefs to a series of mid-depth shelves and ledges that culminate in high-profile coral ridges that drop from depths 50 to 90 feet into deep water. Steady north-flowing currents are found on all sites, and drift diving is the norm. Water temperatures range from the high 70s to the mid 80s.
Diving in Cozumel Tips
The techniques of drift diving may seem intimidating to those who have never tried it, but in fact, nothing could be easier. Simply step off the swim platform, allow the current to carry you, and resurface to find the boat waiting. Because neither you or the boat are tethered, there is no sense of moving water when you are on the surface.
Best Places to Dive in Cozumel
Sites such as Palancar Deep, Colombia Reef and Santa Rosa Wall combine steep wall-like outer profiles with intricate mazes of swim-throughs and arches. Tormento and Punta Tunich provide lively drifts over ridges and valleys, while shallow sites such as Palancar Garden, Cordona and Las Palmas combine mild currents with abundant fish life. The wreck of the Felipe Xicoténcatl adds variety.
