About Tres Cocos Canyons
Tres Cocos Canyons is a boat-access spur-and-groove reef just off the Tres Cocos cut on Ambergris Caye. It is known for a shallow reef top, a mooring-ball entry, and very mild current on ordinary days, making it a good fit for newer divers and snorkelers on settled weather. The canyon structure adds variety, while dolphins, turtles, rays, and dense reef fish keep the site lively around the cut and walls.
