The thoughtfully named Manchones 2 is the sister reef of Manchones 1 and is located just off the coast of Isla Mujeres. It is a shallow reef ideal for snorkeling and all levels of diving and is filled to the brim with things to do and see.

Manchones 2 is set to the Cancun side of Manchones 1, within the Manchones National Park. The name derives from the word Mancha (stains in English), which is how the reef appears in the water when viewed from above. This reef section is more elongated than the wider Manchones 1 and is best viewed by navigating in a zigzag pattern.

Ideal for bringing out the photographer in us; countless willing subjects are here. The typical Manchones properties apply on this reef; little to no current, good sunlight penetration, incredible visibility, and coarse white sand. Because of these properties, so much can be achieved on this reef regarding instruction and education, be it specialties, continuing education, or continuing your initial training dives.
