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. 🌿💦

At Pocna Dive Center, we love uncovering forgotten corners of the sea. Casetas, part of the Chairel ferry wreck, is our newest addition to Isla Mujeres’ wreck dives. Sitting at 24 meters with medium to strong currents and abundant marine life, this drift dive is perfect for experienced divers looking for adventure. With Casetas now open, divers have even more shipwrecks to explore in the area, each with its own story beneath the waves.

Beneath the waves off Isla Mujeres lies The Silent Evolution — a hauntingly beautiful underwater installation of 477 life-sized statues by artist Jason deCaires Taylor. Designed to relieve pressure on damaged reefs, the sculptures now form a thriving coral habitat. Each statue tells a story, from local villagers to journalists and musicians, silently transformed by the sea. Dive into the art, science, and soul of MUSA.

After Hurricane Wilma devastated local reefs, artists and marine biologists created MUSA—the Underwater Museum of Art—to give coral a new home. Today, over 500 statues rest beneath the waves near Isla Mujeres, forming a living gallery where art and nature grow together. Carefully placed to attract coral larvae and withstand storms, each sculpture transforms over time into a thriving reef, rich with life and meaning.

Parrotfish are more than colourful reef dwellers—they poop our beaches, build reef structure, and control algae. Learn how they shape the Caribbean and how you can help protect them. Dive in at Manchones Reef, Isla Mujeres.

Discover The Hondureño, a 36-meter shrimp boat wreck sunk during Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. Resting 21 meters deep, just 3 km from North Beach, this dramatic site offers excellent visibility and is ideal for advanced divers. With strong currents and rich marine life—nurse sharks, eagle rays, cobia, and more—it’s a deep dive into both nature and history. Not just a wreck, but a story the island still remembers.

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.
