About this dive site
North-reef canyon named on Franko charts near Rocky Point approaches.
Tortuga Canyons is part of the northern spur-and-groove system accessed on Bacalar Chico and Rocky Point itineraries. Large groupers and reef sharks appear when light current runs along the wall. Weather and reserve logistics decide whether skippers reach it on a given day.
Tortuga Canyons is grouped with Rocky Point/Bacalar itineraries; not a casual in-town two-tank when wind is up.
