About this dive site
Ambergris canyon maze with gorgonians and schooling fish.
Paradise Canyons lies south of San Pedro along the inner barrier reef. Narrow sand channels cut between coral ridges where eagle rays glide and lobsters hide under ledges. It is a staple on local fun-dive schedules when seas are calm and groups want reef life without the Hol Chan crowds.
Paradise Canyons is an inner-barrier spur-and-groove site south of San Pedro - eagle rays and groupers show on sand channels when seas are flat. It is a fun-dive staple, not a protected-channel snorkel like Hol Chan.
