Cozy Canyon is a reef site located off Pondicherry, India, suitable for intermediate divers. The reef structure extends from the surface to a maximum depth of 17 metres. Access is exclusively by boat, and the site is defined by strong currents that require active buoyancy control. Visibility at this location is highly variable, and divers should be prepared for low visibility conditions. Water temperatures remain consistent between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Divers should exercise caution regarding sharp coral and rocks near the reef structure, particularly during boat entry and exit. Carrying a reef hook or surface marker buoy is recommended due to the current exposure.
