Dive-site story
What makes this site worth diving
In Puerto Morelos Reef National Park, Mini Wall runs parallel to the coastline. The coral ledge drops from 12 meters to a sandy floor at 18 meters, creating undercut overhangs where nurse sharks and hawksbill turtles shelter. Mild to moderate northward currents carry divers over sea fans, brain corals, and barrel sponges. Spiny lobsters and green morays wedge into deep crevices along the drop-off.
