Site details

Mexico Rocks is a shallow patch-reef complex of coral heads in 2-8m of clear, calm water off the northern tip of Ambergris Caye. Its protected, shallow setting and abundance of small reef life make it a favourite for beginners, refresher dives, macro photography and snorkelling. Eagle rays are sometimes seen feeding in the current at the reef edge.
