Palancar Reef is Cozumel’s
most famous diving attraction with massive housed-sized coral buttresses.
Palancar’s reef structure is comprised of a three and a half mile long stretch
of patch reefs, sand channels, impressive drop-offs and towering coral
ramparts, the peaks of which rise to within 60 to 100 feet of the surface. The walls of these monolithic edifices are
honeycombed with tunnels, ballroom-sized caverns and passageways. Look over the edge of
Palancar’s abyssal drop-off and you will be gazing at the Undersea Temple of
the Mayan Gods, the 3,000 foot ocean trench that separates Cozumel from the
Yucatan Peninsula.
Juvenile Spotted Drum - They're a bitch to photograph!
Nassau Grouper - famed underwater photographer, Stephen Frink, kindly commented on this image: "Outstanding composition, Jett. Makes you want to be there."
