About this dive site
Deeper groove dives inside Hol Chan Marine Reserve beyond the famous cut.
Hol Chan Canyons covers the spur-and-groove walls inside Hol Chan Marine Reserve east of the main channel. Turtles, nurse sharks and eagle rays use the sand grooves while snappers stack on the reef crest. Licensed guides and reserve fees apply on the same boats that serve the cut and Shark-Ray Alley.
Hol Chan Canyons is inside the same reserve fee as the cut and Shark-Ray Alley; licensed guides and tide planning still apply.
