Top things to know about Cozumel
Cozumel is a flat island based on limestone, with the highest natural point being less than 49 ft above sea level. The island is covered with mangrove forests, home for plenty of small mammals and endemic birds. Cenotes in Cozumel, deep water-filled sinkholes formed by water percolating through the soft limestone soil for thousands of years, are restricted to qualified cave divers with appropriate credentials, so if this is you, this stunning island will be your ideal place. If you’re not there yet, don’t worry, we have a Diving Center in Iberostar Waves Cozumel to teach you as much as we can in the time you will be staying with us!
The island is different from north to south. While the most experienced divers often move toward the northern beaches, southern beaches are more suitable for families to enjoy some quiet, calm white sands and blue warm waters.
