Diving in Playa del Carmen at Moc Che Deep
Moc-Che Deep Reef can be reached in less than 10 minutes by boat from the harbor in Playa del Carmen.
The big brother of the flatter Moc-Che Shallow Reef, Moc-Che Deep is a typical fringing reef with a maximum depth of about 30 meters. Here you make a free descent through the blue water to a depth of 24-25 meters where the top of the reef is located.
The 5-6-meter-high wall features numerous overhangs with many inhabitants such as large green moray eels, king crabs, lionfish, and parrotfish.
Due to the moderate current, you drift along the wall from south to north. With a little luck, you can even see one or two bull sharks in the winter months next to marlins, sea turtles and giant barracudas. Due to the depth of 30 meters, this dive is only for divers who already have their Advanced Open Water Diver certification.
