Clear Vision, Clean Ocean: Aloe Vera for Eco-Friendly Diving
At Pocna Dive Center, we’re always looking for ways to make diving a little greener — and our latest eco-idea might be our favorite yet. Inspired by the Green Fins community, we’ve started using fresh Aloe Vera leaves as a 100% natural, ocean-friendly mask defog. It works beautifully, keeps harmful chemicals out of the sea, and even grows right in our own little “defog garden.” Small changes like this help keep our reefs — and our masks — crystal clear. 🌿💦

Signs that you might be, or are becoming, an islander
Living on Isla Mujeres isn’t just about adapting—it’s about syncing with a different rhythm. Landmarks, rather than names often identify streets. Time flows with conversations, not clocks. Roads, rains, and routines all become part of a dance you learn by heart. It’s a place where helmets stay on, greetings matter, and the soundtrack of daily life includes tamale vendors and gas truck jingles. Once you learn Isla’s rhythm, it stays with you, no matter how far you roam.
