Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, lemon sharks, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Caroba canyons offers some of Ambergris Caye's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
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.
