As Memo mentioned in the thread about partial closure of the national park, our Special Ops team is compiling a list and description of the sites we have discovered all north of town. Indeed they are out in the water today so we can give the best description of each site. From beginner to expert there are sites for everyone.
On the other hand there remain many under utilized sites left out of the closure. For instance, most people don't even know that the Santa Rosa wall dive has 5 terrific swim throughs followed by Santa Rosa Shallows. Or Cedral Wall is exceptional, and Yucab and Tormentos are way under rated. And all can be enjoyed in many different ways with adequate air. And the towering pillars are never going away-- even if all the corals and fish are dead!
I will post a list of those northern sites in detail shortly, but if you want to check our web site we have a video that we call Polar Express that shows some of them as well as the Cave of Sleeping Sharks.

PS Since diving Coz in 92 I have seen winter water temps as low as 78F, and summer temps as high as 86F. This last summer I don't believe it ever got over 86F, and we check it everyday. I think that discards climate change as a culprit. Might be a factor in other areas, I admit.
