Canyon 1, Boca Chica
★★★★☆
(375)
The Canyons are located in about 10 minutes by boat from Boca Chica! It is a very nice reef with many valleys that can be dived through! It lies in a depth of 12 - 27 meters. Well suited for beginners and advanced divers.
Nurse sharks and turtles can be seen here from time to time. Large schools of fish are also not uncommon here. Lobsters under rocks and corals, stingrays in the sandy passages.
