Caves,
Bricks, Horseshoe & Gardens
 Palancar is one of
Cozumel’s most memorable reefs. The visibility is fantastic! A wall dive, the slopes of snowy white sand slide off into the deep blue resembling a ski slope. Palancar Bricks is just the beginning of an almost three mile stretch of caves, canyons, overhangs and gardens.
As
you wind your way up into the coral ravines and through the narrow
crevices you’ll see many snappers, angelfish and Bermuda
chub that will be waiting for you there.
You
may want to start your dive at the “Horseshoe”, a large u-shaped
notch in the wall of Palancar.
 The
Gardens are a bit shallower, and are an excellent place to stop and
take some pictures. The sandy bottom is often a good place for rays to hide, so keep your eyes open. This is one reef you’ll want to come back to.
Lined with coral
pinnacles this stunning reef is the home of many jacks, triggerfish
and the usually shy turtle.
