3 Amigos

3 Amigos at Turneffe Islands is an intermediate dive site named for three distinctive coral pinnacles that rise from the sandy seabed like underwater sentinels. Each pinnacle is a self-contained ecosystem covered in soft corals, sponges, and gorgonians that attract clouds of reef fish. The sandy channels between the amigos harbor garden eels and peacock flounders, while green moray eels peer from holes in the coral. The site is located on Turneffe's eastern wall, where the atoll shelf meets the deep channel, providing opportunities to spot passing pelagics in the blue beyond the pinnacles.
