We are heading to Cozumel on the 26th for Day of the Dead and Halloween diving and I just saw this article on FB, posted by Scuba Diving Magazine. (Note: I used the word "Closing" in heading because "activities temporarily suspended" just wouldn't fit! I don't mean to mislead anyone.) From the article:
"Beginning on October 7, 2019, underwater activities will be temporarily suspended within a large portion of the Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park. The affected area begins at Palancar Reef and includes all points south, such as Columbia Reef and the site known as El Cielo. The closure is part of a strategy to give this highly trafficked area a rest, helping better preserve the sites long-term.".
I wonder if this means the open sites will be much busier - or if the reduced traffic of the winter months will offset it. Anyway, I thought others might like to know.
