Dive-site story
Located just outside San Pedro off Ambergris Caye, Tuffy Inn sits near the prominent Tuffy Cut break in the Belize Barrier Reef. The site features classic spur-and-groove coral formations interspersed with wide sandy corridors and coral ridges. Because of its proximity to the cut, water exchange draws pelagic visitors alongside resident reef fauna sheltering under undercut ledges.
Pronounced spur-and-groove reef architecture with swim-through sand channels
Frequent encounters with resting nurse sharks tucked into coral overhangs
Sheltered conditions suitable for second dives or relaxed afternoon exploration
