    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Caroba Canyons, off Ambergris Caye, offers a series of swim-throughs carved into the reef, creating a maze-like feel. We often spot nurse sharks tucked into the overhangs and plenty of snapper schooling through the channels. It's a fun drift dive, best for divers comfortable with overhead environments and moderate currents. You'll likely enjoy it if you like exploring reef architecture.
