About this site

Santa Rosa Wall lies off Cozumel in Quintana Roo, Mexico, and drops as a wall dive to a maximum depth of around 37 metres. It's generally rated an advanced site, with light current typically reported and great visibility along the drop-off. Eagle rays, grouper, moray eels, and sea turtles are common here, and divers have also reported angelfish, barracuda, damselfish, hammerhead sharks, lobster, nurse sharks, parrotfish, snapper, and stingrays along the wall. Some swim-throughs create brief overhead sections, and divers have flagged fire coral and the depth itself as things to watch, along with strong currents that can shift without warning.
