Dive-site story
Situated outside the barrier reef off Ambergris Caye, this site is defined by pronounced spur-and-groove coral formations running seaward. Divers cruise between high ridges of hard coral separated by wide sand channels. Resident nurse sharks and large black groupers often follow dive groups across the reef terraces, while green morays tuck into limestone undercuts.
