Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, lemon sharks, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Tackle Box Canyons offers some of Ambergris Caye's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Tackle Box Canyons delivers exactly what the name implies: a maze of deep, narrow cuts through the reef. We found ourselves navigating these vertical walls, often ducking into the darker recesses where lobsters and glassy sweepers huddled. Then you pop out onto the brighter, shallow coral ridges, which feel like a real contrast. It’s a great spot for photographers keen on dramatic reef topography, especially when the light shafts hit those canyons just right. Expect a relaxed dive, good for anyone comfortable maneuvering through confined spaces without touching the walls.
