At Hol Chan, enter the shallow waters at 4 feet and make our way towards the channel, surrounded by schools of sergeant majors, snappers and jacks. The channel is approximately 30 feet deep. As we approach the deeper end, look out for the heavyweights such as dog-toothed snappers and eagle rays – they like to hang out around here. Swim across the channel and there is a trough which drops 15 feet down – test your free diving skills here if you must.

At Shark Ray Alley, the water is approximately 8 feet around the area. As you arrive, you can see nurse sharks rolling at the surface and sting rays combing the ocean floor. The nurse sharks average 4 – 6 feet in length and the sting rays have a ‘wing-span’ of about 2 – 4 feet. Be sure to contain your excitement while you enjoy the show.

Mexico Rocks, on the other hand, is one of the youngest marine reserves in the Ambergris Caye established in 2015. There are two areas to snorkel around the Mexico Rocks. The lower portion is approximately 8-9 feet of water; the upper portion is up to 15 feet deep. In the lower portion, you will get a reef full of vibrant colours and actions.

Come with Somos to explore one of the oldest marine reserves in a different way to begin your amazing day full of new experiences
