Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, lemon sharks, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Mexico Rocks offers some of Ambergris Caye's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Mexico Rocks sits north of San Pedro, a little shallower than some of the other spots around Ambergris Caye. That makes it a good easy dive, often bundled with a trip further out. We tend to see a lot of finger coral and huge brain corals here, some of them rising almost to the surface. Look closely in the nooks and crannies for neon gobies and little post horn squid, they’re usually tucked away. It’s also a reliable place to spot green turtles munching on seagrass, and sometimes bonefish cruise through the sand flats. It’s a solid, relaxed dive, perfect for a chill morning or an afternoon where you just want to drift along.
