Local operator required
The long crossing and weather gate make this an operator-run dive, not a DIY site.
Boat-only dive with a long offshore run; operators favor calm seas and divers comfortable with current and quick descents.
About Amazon
Amazon is Tofo's far-offshore L-shaped reef, built from two ledges, craters, and big swim-throughs. It is a committed boat dive that usually only goes in calm weather, so the long crossing and the current are part of the plan from the start. When conditions line up, the payoff is clear water, shark and ray traffic, and a broad mix of reef and pelagic life. It suits divers who are comfortable with a quick descent and a drift-style profile.

Local Intel For Amazon
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Descend quickly onto the L-shaped reef, then follow the ledges, craters, and swim-throughs with the current. Most operators treat it as a weather-gated double-dive outing.
Freediving
Unfavorable for freediving because the site is deep, current-prone, and boat-dependent.
Snorkeling
Not practical for snorkeling; the site sits too far offshore and too deep for a casual surface visit.
