Site details

Tackle Box Canyons, off San Pedro, is a maze of coral canyons and tunnels running between about 20 and 30m. Divers swim tunnel to tunnel through spur-and-groove formations rich in sponges and reef life, with nurse sharks, turtles and big groupers frequently seen. The swim-throughs and moderate depth give it an adventurous, intermediate feel.
