5 dives 3 diversPhoto from Hidden Hermit Crab
Local operator required
The site is boat-only and is normally dived through a San Pedro operator because departures, channel timing, and guide supervision matter.
Best done as a guided boat trip from San Pedro or Caye Caulker; expect a shallow-to-mid-depth canyon maze, light current, and strong reef-fish action.

Scuba Diving
A relaxed guided scuba dive works well here, with canyon walls, coral heads, and plenty of reef life close to the main channel.

Not a strong freedive target because the canyon structure is better appreciated on a controlled scuba profile.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary; the canyons and deeper reef features are best viewed from scuba.
