About this dive site
Inner-barrier canyon maze south of San Pedro with gorgonians and schooling jacks.
Cypress Canyons and nearby tunnels cut through the inner barrier reef south of San Pedro Town. Horse-eye jacks and snappers stack in the cuts while lobsters and morays hide under coral ledges. A light current turns the dive into an easy drift when skippers plan the entry right.
Cypress sits in the southern inner-barrier canyon belt; a modest current turns the grooves into an easy drift - confirm direction with the crew before you drop.
