Turtle Canyons
Why dive here
With 447+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, eagle rays, nurse sharks, orcas and seahorses - Turtle Canyons offers some of Caribbean Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest June, August, September.
Turtle Canyons, just a short boat ride from Livingston, offers a relaxed second dive after the deeper North Wall. You’ll find a gently sloping wall, more like a series of ledges and overhangs, perfect for spotting the resident Hawksbill and Loggerhead turtles often resting in the crevices. It’s a busy nursery too, we’ve often seen spotted drum juveniles tucked away, along with arrow crabs and cleaner shrimp – great subjects if you’ve got a macro lens. The currents here are usually mild, making it a good spot for newer divers or anyone looking for a more leisurely exploration.
