About Cypress Canyons
Cypress Canyons is a boat-access spur-and-groove reef off Ambergris Caye where steep coral fingers and white-sand cuts create a canyon-style route with clear water and regular Caribbean reef life. Divers typically descend on the mooring and work along undercut spurs and sandy channels, while calm days can also suit confident snorkelers over the shallower reef structure.
