SportDivers Planets 50 Greatest Dives, #7, For many divers, Cozumel is like an old friend, one they visit every year. Part of the enormous Palancar reef system, Palancar Horseshoe remains a perennial favorite — and why not? Dense, colorful corals cover the structure, and divers drop directly into the large, horseshoe-shaped amphitheater from which the site gets its name, greeting the resident green moray eel along the way. Depending on the current — sometimes strong — dives can also begin farther south. Drift north with the current, exploring the dense, rocky formation’s tunnels and crevices in around 80 feet, among the schools of blue tangs, jacks, parrotfish and turtles that call them home. — RS
