Mermaid’s Lair
★★★★★
(1,137)
Mermaid’s Lair sits just off Ambergris Caye and is a great dive and snorkel site with the reef being fairly shallow with no current. This site is accessible by boat only and has great visibility.
You’ll see typical Caribbean life like nurse and reef sharks, possible eagle rays, turtles, stingrays, and lots of fish: snapper, angelfish, grunts, parrot fish, and grouper.
