Diving & Snorkeling from Ambergris Caye Description
Several island tour operators offer excursions to numerous snorkeling and scuba diving sites within close proximity to Ambergris Caye. Many sites feature canyons or cuts; large grooves cut into the coral reef by the surf, as well as caverns and tunnels that form when corals on either side of the canyon grow together.

Marine life that can be spotted on such excursions includes large schools of fish, several varieties of coral, turtles, as well as nurse and reef sharks. Another popular site is Amigos Wreck, a 60ft/18m tug boat intentionally sunk to provide a marine habitat.
