Cypress Canyon

Cypress Canyon off Ambergris Caye is an advanced dive through a dramatic spur-and-groove canyon system cut into the outer reef wall. The narrow canyons plunge from the reef top at 12 meters to sandy floors at 30 meters, their walls covered with gorgonians, black coral, and deepwater sponges. The canyon channels concentrate current, attracting schools of jacks, barracuda, and the occasional bull shark. Swimming through the canyons feels like navigating an underwater mountain pass, with each turn revealing new formations and marine life. A spectacular site for experienced divers seeking adventure along the Belize Barrier Reef.
