Best for advanced divers, 25-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Moc Che Deep is an advanced drift dive located 1500 metres off the coast of Puerto Morelos. This site features a wall and reef structure reaching depths of 25 to 30 metres, with an average depth of 27 metres. Divers experience moderate currents, though down currents and rip currents are known hazards. Visibility is consistently 30 metres. Due to the depth, nitrogen narcosis and decompression discipline are primary considerations. Water temperatures range from 27 to 29 degrees Celsius, though thermoclines occur. Boat access is required for all dives, which typically last 45 minutes. Divers should maintain awareness of sharp coral, sea urchins, jellyfish, stonefish, and lionfish while navigating the structure.

Brief your dive guide on your narcosis threshold before descending, as conditions at depth can change quickly and down currents can push you deeper than planned. Wear a full wetsuit even in warm water: thermoclines are present, and the exposure protection helps if you make contact with sharp coral or encounter jellyfish on the drift.
