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. 🌿💦

Jardines is one of the lesser-dived spots on Manchones Reef, Isla Mujeres, offering calm waters, vibrant marine life, and a peaceful escape from the crowds. Explore rays, nurse sharks, colorful tropical fish, and the hidden underwater statue Bacab, all just minutes from the shore and close to the famous MUSA museum. Perfect for snorkelers, beginners, and all certified divers alike.

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.

Drift past loggerhead turtles, dolphins, rays, and century-old shipwrecks at Punta Sur, Isla Mujeres. This advanced drift dive takes you flying along strong currents around the island’s southern tip—home to ancient Mayan ruins and breathtaking marine life. Not for beginners, but unforgettable for the experienced.

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.

Hiring a golf cart is a great way to see Isla Mujeres. Here are some tips on how to do it safely and respect the local environment.
