San Toribio is a drift dive site in the Cancun Hotel Zone that features a combination of natural reef structures and artificial reef components. Divers typically experience depths between 15 and 19 metres, with visibility ranging from 20 to 30 metres. The site is accessed exclusively by boat and is suited for intermediate divers due to moderate currents that can vary in strength. Water temperatures remain warm throughout the year, between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius. Divers should maintain neutral buoyancy and stay close to the reef structure to avoid contact with sharp coral and rock formations during the drift.

Keep close to the reef structure during the drift to stay out of the strongest water column and watch your buoyancy carefully, as the sharp coral and rock can cause cuts if the current nudges you off line. Confirm current conditions with your operator on the day, as strength can vary significantly.
