Cozumel is a place where you would get to experience some of the finest nature ever. The coastline is a sea lover's delight. The reefs and underwater life forms are diverse and would make you come back asking for more. The Palancar Horseshoe in Cozumel attracts tourists by the dozens. It would be a great spot for diving and discovering some aquatic flora and fauna. You go about 80 feet below the surface, this coral reef resembles a horseshoe and hence it gets its name. Eels, barracudas, school of fish and sharks would greet you here. Even though the reef is open throughout the day, the ideal time to go scuba diving is in the morning. There is no entry fee but if you go with a tour operator or a professional diver, it would cost you a bit. Plus, you could also be charged for the diving equipment. You could even take a boat or a ferry up to a certain spot and then dive. The visibility is great thanks to the clear waters; you can see plants and animals up to 250 feet. This section of the reef is a part of the much bigger stretch of Palancar reefs. There are ample photo ops and it is a perfect activity for the entire family. "To appreciate underwater life you don't have to be a professional" is what this reef seems to tell people. This place is truly worth a visit. There are crowds during all the seasons and this is a testimony to the fact that the Palancar Horseshoe is a very popular attraction on this island.
