Paradise Canyon off Ambergris Caye is an advanced dive through a series of deep canyons cut into the outer wall of the Belize Barrier Reef. The canyons descend steeply from 15 to over 35 meters, their vertical walls decorated with large sea fans, wire corals, and brilliant orange elephant ear sponges. The canyon floor often harbors nurse sharks and large southern stingrays resting on the sand. Pelagic visitors including eagle rays and reef sharks patrol the canyon mouths where they open to the deep blue. An exhilarating dive combining dramatic topography with excellent marine encounters.
