San Pedro Canyons - Belize

San Pedro Canyons is a favourite spot when we’re staying on Ambergris Caye, mainly for the sheer volume of fish moving through. It’s a channel site, right in front of the main San Pedro Town cut, and that flow of water pulls in a lot of life. We often find ourselves just floating, watching schools of snapper, grunts, and parrotfish drift by. Keep an eye out for the big green turtles; they love to cruise these canyons. The maximum depth is 22m, but you’ll spend most of your time shallower, winding through the coral formations. These stony corals create lots of little nooks and crannies, perfect for spotting smaller creatures like brittle stars, shrimps, and crabs if you slow down and look closely. We’ve had some great encounters with eagle rays here, often just gliding silently overhead. Dive this one in the morning for the best light, as the sun streaming into the canyons is pretty special. It's a great dive for anyone who enjoys a gentle drift and wants to see plenty of classic Caribbean reef life without needing to go deep.
