Honeycomb Cowfish 🍯🐄🐟 have an intricate design and are one of our favorite fish. Cowfish can be distinguished from trunkfish by the "horns" protruding on it's head. #cowfish #Caribbean #Scuba #fish #cozumel #HoneycombCowfish #ocean #diverslife #uwphoto

Greater Soapfish 🧼🐟 are named for a toxic mucus it secretes for protection. These two, about 10" long, were seen on a night dive out on a hunt for smaller fish. #Soapfish #cozumel #underwater #Scuba #GreaterSoapfish #ocean #diverslife #uwphoto

The Tall House Structure 🛕 This temple is found a short walk away from the main ruins of San Gervasio. It was a fertility temple for the goddess Ixchel. The path here was a beautiful walk through the Cozumel jungle. #Mayan #ruins #cozumel #SanGervasio #Caribbean

Orange Iguana
🦎
This Orange Iguana was a resident at the Occidental Cozumel and liked living by the pool and watching guests swim from his perch on top of these rocks.

This tiny little French Angelfish was a real treat to find hiding around this coral outcrop. It was hanging out with a friendly Yellowline Arrowcrab.

This is the remains of an old Mayan road at San Gervasio. You can see the rock base and edging protecting it from the jungle growth.

These two curious Gray angelfish came in for a closeup. They are often found in pairs and will follow divers around to see what these strange creatures are doing in their home. #underwater #cozumel #Scuba #GrayAngelfish #ocean #diverslife

Queen Conchs are plentiful around Cozumel, which is great for the Eagle Rays that love eating them. You quickly learn to spot the trails they leave in the sand.

Part of the Mayan ruins of San Gervasio, the Murals Structure had a vaulted ceiling and was used for ceremonial purposes. It is named for the murals found inside the structure.

🐟 Frightening to some, but we always enjoy seeing Great Barracuda drifting around the reef. Despite their unnerving toothy grin, they are not a real threat to divers.

Herding Divers
🧜‍♂️🧜‍♀️
Sometimes the most challenging part of a drift dive is getting the group started together. Fortunately 2 fingers in the sand holds you in place.
