What’s up guys—Brian here from Lake Hickory Scuba & Marina. In this video I’m taking you along for part six of our Cozumel series as we dive the Santa Rosa Wall. This site is an advanced-to-intermediate dive, and I explain why: you’ve got stronger, fast-moving current ripping in and out of the coral structures, plus the deeper depths you can reach and the overhangs and swim-throughs you can work into the dive plan. One of the coolest things about Santa Rosa is the scale—those coral structures can be 30 to 40 feet tall—and depending on your training and the dive profile you choose, you can make it as relaxed or as technical as you want. If it’s your second dive of the day and you stay up on top of the wall, you can basically just glide across the formations and keep it fun and easy instead of dropping into the deeper sections. I also turn it into a little challenge: keep your eyes peeled for three species during the dive—the trumpetfish, the spotted moray eel, and the peacock flounder. If you want to get better at identifying what you’re seeing underwater, I recommend checking out the SSI Ecology programs because they’re easy, they count toward specialty ratings, and they’ll help make you a more educated—and safer—diver.
