It protects the offshore reefs along the western and southern sides of Cozumel, it includes dozens of popular dive sites where you can see tropical fish, coral formations, and other kinds of marine life at depths from 30 feet to more than 150 feet. Many of the sites visited by local dive shops are part of the national park.
The Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park is off the coast of the island of Cozumel in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The Cozumel reef system is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second largest coral reef system in the world. Even though almost the entire island of Cozumel is surrounded by coral reefs, the park only encompasses the reefs on the south side of the island. It begins just south of the International Pier and continues down and around Punta Sur and up just a small portion of the east side of the island. The park contains both shallow and mesophotic coral reefs and extends to the 100 m depth isobar.
