Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, lemon sharks, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Mexico Canyons offers some of Ambergris Caye's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Mexico Canyons offers a series of sandy channels cut into the reef, creating a maze-like structure that's fun to navigate. We often find nurse sharks resting in the sand and green morays tucked into the coral walls. It's a relaxed dive, good for newer divers or those who prefer a gentler pace.
