About Tackle Box
Tackle Box is a boat-access canyon site off Ambergris Caye with steep grooves, vertical walls, caverns, and tunnel-like passages cut through a coral ridge. It suits guided scuba divers who want a more exploratory route than a flat reef, with mooring-buoy access, clear water, and rich reef life around the outer walls and ledges. The site is popular because it combines easy boat logistics with dramatic topography, macro nooks, and frequent sightings of sharks, rays, turtles, jacks, and larger grouper.

Scuba Diving
Guided boat dive with canyons, caverns, and tunnel mouths over coral ridges; better for divers comfortable with overhead terrain.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site because the main draw is the tunnel and cavern terrain below the surface.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the main features sit on and under the reef edge rather than in a shallow surface route.
