★★★★☆ (1,770)

Tuffy Canyons also known as San Pedro Canyons is located directly in front of the main channel of San Pedro Town. It has a variety of stony corals which forms a loose framework that supports a multitude of protective homes for small invertebrates such as the Brittle Star Fish, Shrimps and Crabs.

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.
