Orange Canyon
★★★★★
(165)
Located on one of the steepest sections of the West Bay wall, Orange Canyon features a dramatic wall drop-off and unique, undercut topography. Orange elephant-ear sponges and other vibrant sponge varieties covering the wall gives this site its name.
Divers can explore the canyon to find a healthy reef, including a variety of reef creatures like eels, silversides, angelfish, and possibly rays.
