There is a small reef just north of the Atlantis submarine pier across the road from Casa Del Mar. Lots of small coral heads, sea fans, lots of juvenile fish. Only about 15 to 20 feet deep but nice (by Cozumel shore dive standards).

Heads. I wouldn't call those reefs. I once saw a banded shrimp working in partnership with a moray eel hiding in a tire there too, and hated that I did not take my camera - but there's not much reef there.There is a small reef just north of the Atlantis submarine pier across the road from Casa Del Mar.

Maybe, if the currents & eddies are favorable and you're good on air. If not, get out and hail a cab. The nicer ones may not want to pick you up, but another will. You could walk it with tank & gear, but not me.Is it possible (or recommended) to shore dive from Scuba Club to Blue Angel and back? I'll be staying at SCC, but have read about good shore diving at BA also. They only look to be 600 - 800 metres apart on a map, and in <30' that sounds doable on an 80cuf tank.
Thanks,

I have rented a tank from BA and drifted to SCC, but I wouldn't want to swim that far the other way against the current. It's probably a moot point now, anyway, since there is a ferry dock between them that big boats use. I wouldn't want to be diving there when one of those suckers pulls in.Is it possible (or recommended) to shore dive from Scuba Club to Blue Angel and back?
