Escalones is one of Mahahual's signature reef dives along the Great Maya Barrier Reef. The site features a dramatic stepped wall profile where reef terraces descend through sandbanks into deeper water, creating a staircase-like topography. Excellent visibility often exceeds 25 meters, revealing vibrant hard corals and sea fans at every level.
