Santa Rosa Wall
Cozumel · Mexico
Sheer vertical wall plunging from 20 m into the abyss, cut with swim throughs, tunnels, and overhangs draped in sponges and black coral. The current rides divers along the wall face while groupers, turtles, and the occasional reef shark patrol the blue. Considered one of the finest wall dives in the Caribbean.
