About Mexico Rocks
Mexico Rocks is a shallow patch reef north of San Pedro and one of Belize's easiest boat trips for snorkelers and beginner divers. The site is a maze of boulder coral heads, sand channels, and seagrass pockets with calm water, strong coral cover, and lots of juvenile reef life, rays, turtles, sharks, and invertebrates.
