Paamul Deep is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located at 1st Avenue and 10th Street, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico. This dive site has an average rating of 4.67 out of 5 from 3 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 101-110ft/31-34m. The average visibility is 51-60ft/16-18m.
30m maximum depth Maximum depth: 25-30m along the sloping wall.
Weak-to-average current. The open waters of the Caribbean Sea provide good-to-excellent visibility.
Paamul Deep is very similar to both Punta Venado and Islote, but being more exposed makes it more affected by surge.
It also lies very close to the cantil and it is also a reef where coral and sponges predominate over fish life.
Inhabited by many and colorful reef fishes including queen angelfish and a great number of blue chromis, it is often visited by bigger pelagics such as the powerful amberjack.
Exits can be quite demanding due to wave action and we tend to visit this reef as part of special tours that often include lunch at Kalu’s, the fine restaurant at Paamul beach.
