Hol Chan Marine Reserve is a protected area established in 1987, featuring a reef section approximately 23m wide and 9m deep. The high density of coral formations and fish populations makes it a standout location for reef exploration.
Shark Ray Alley is located just 10 minutes from Hol Chan. This site is specifically known for the opportunity to swim alongside nurse sharks and southern stingrays (Hypanus americanus).
Mexico Rocks consists of a lush collection of coral formations that reach up to 3.5m in height. These rock-like corals provide a protected environment for a wide variety of smaller marine life, including parrotfish and various eels.
And some of the dive sites the centre runs.
The reef habitats are defined by a vibrant array of fixed life, including various sea fans and gorgonians. You will find a diverse landscape of sponges, such as blue sponge, interspersed with colourful coral formations that provide essential shelter for the local inhabitants.
The mid-water and reef structures are home to a constant stream of colourful fish. You can expect to see butterflyfish, parrotfish, and various species of small reef fish navigating the coral heads.
Macro life and larger residents are a key draw for divers in this area. The sandy patches and reef crevices frequently host nurse sharks, southern stingrays (Hypanus americanus), and various species of eels. You may also encounter lobsters, pufferfish, and various juvenile fish species throughout the reef system.
The dive sites around San Pedro are influenced by the local reef structure, which provides protection from larger ocean swells. This makes many of the sites, such as Mexico Rocks, relatively sheltered environments for divers.
