About this dive site
Deep-cut counterpart to shallow Mata Rocks on the same reef tract.
Mata Canyons drops off the inner barrier near Mata Rocks with deeper spur-and-groove walls. Groupers and barracuda patrol the sand chutes while eagle rays glide the floor on calm days. It suits divers who want depth after a shallow checkout at Mata Rocks.
Mata Canyons adds depth after shallow Mata Rocks; confirm your group's experience before booking the deeper groove.
