About this site

Columbia Ladrillo lies off the southwest coast of Cozumel, part of the Columbia reef system along the island's protected drop-off in the Yucatan Peninsula's marine park waters. This stretch of reef is reached by boat from the west side of the island, in the current-driven channel between Cozumel and the mainland. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 22 metres, and divers have reported reef sharks passing through the area.
