Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, lemon sharks, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Buena Vista Canyons offers some of Ambergris Caye's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Buena Vista Canyons offers a good drift dive along a spur and groove system. You’ll weave through coral canyons, keeping an eye out for nurse sharks tucked into crevices and parrotfish grazing on the reef. It’s a comfortable dive, suitable for most skill levels, and a reliable spot for a relaxed afternoon dip. We find it’s best when you're looking for a low-key dive without too much fuss.
