Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, lemon sharks, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Tuffy Canyon offers some of Ambergris Caye's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Tuffy Canyon, off Ambergris Caye, gives you a chance to drift along a wall where the reef has some interesting cuts and overhangs. Keep an eye out for nurse sharks tucked away and the occasional eagle ray gliding past. It's a fairly relaxed drift, making it a good choice for newer divers getting comfortable with currents, or those who just want an easy cruise. Visibility here is usually solid, often 20m or more.
