Mexico Rocks

Just a 20-minute ride from our dive shop heading up the coast of North Ambergris Caye, Mexico Rocks is a superb Patch Reef, which lies half way between the reef and shore. The charm of the site will further be enhanced by the amiable and professional attention of our Snorkel Guides as they not only assist in your comfort and safety, but ensure you see and learn about the sights. Mexico Rocks 12ft depth offers excellent visibility of the opulent collection of Star, Elk Horn, and Staghorn Coral, colonized by lobsters and eels and colorful juvenile fish scurrying about. The large Boulder Coral rise 10-12 ft high nearly touching the surface and providing refuge to a variety of marine life, including lame scallops, anemones, tube worm shrimp, and eels sheltered in the coral’s nooks and crannies. Sea fans, azure vase sponges, and butterfly fish add life and color as well. Giant Brain Coral formations create miniature undersea habitats and islands for Spiny Lobster and Yellow Tail. Mexico Rocks is now part of Belize’s newest Marine Protected Area, and as such its marine life and coral formations will continue to flourish.
