BIODIVERSITY

The Island of Cozumel offers some of the most diverse marine life in the world. Cozumel is part of the second largest barrier reef system in the world, the Meso-American reef system, which spans almost 175 miles (280 km) of ocean between the Gulf of Mexico and Honduras. Cozumel's spectacular reef formations, effortless drift diving and exceptionally clear waters make this island one of the world's most popular diving destinations.

There are a variety of marine life, over 200 with some only found in the waters around Cozumel, including the Toad fish. You will also see plentiful amounts of Queen Angelfish, Moray Eels, Sea Turtles, plenty of vast coral heads and more. It is quite normal to see vast coral heads, sponges, like the Elephant Ear sponge and the Barrel sponge, as well as hundreds of tropical fish, rich ecosystems and steep walls that sink into the abyss due to continuos currents which flow around the island. Tunnels and caves twist through the reef, providing a rich environment for many species

Surface intervals can be spent looking for indigenous species on the island. Cozumel has a number of endemic species, like the dwarf raccoon(procyon pygmaeus) and the Cozumel wren(nasua nelsoni). The reefs also attract a large amount of migratory birds who feed on the reef. Spotting a brown pelican or olivaceous cormorant can be a treat and are very common on the island.

Reptiles are also indigenous to Cozumel, including the iguana, which is actually a prehistoric reptile and the crocodile. You will also hear and see many other amphibians, including brightly colored tree frogs which use their camoflauge to ward off predators.
