About this dive site
Eel Canyon is named after the garden eels that rise from the sand at the bottom of the canyons. There are also some nice moray eels. A table coral and an oil drum act as navigation points.
You will find many lionfish under coral ledges and some nice black coral bushes. There is a swim-through at the bottom of one spur of coral, so mind your fins.
Best for: Certified divers
