Dive into an underwater playground at The Maze. Just a five-minute drive from the dock, this dive site is a marvel of nature's architecture. With a depth of 40' – 45', The Maze is perfect for divers of every level.

 

The Maze got its name for a reason. Its intricate network of canyons, buttresses, and pinnacles create a labyrinth that's begging to be explored. Each twist and turn reveals a new corner of the oceanic world. From the vibrant coral formations to the teeming fish life, every nook and cranny at The Maze offers something incredible.

 

One of the unique features of The Maze are the canyons. With sheer, straight-sided walls, they're just wider than shoulder width but open at the top and bottom. Imagine swimming through these canyons, your buddy snapping a photo as you glide through the water. It's a diver's dream and a unique memento you'll cherish.

 

 

But be aware, not all that hides in The Maze is harmless. Camouflaged against the reef, you may spot Scorpion Fish. While they make for great photo opportunities, remember not to touch them – they are venomous!

Despite the thrill of navigating through The Maze, you'll find yourself right under the boat as you ascend the wall. But don't be quick to end your dive. The shallow section is perfect for extending your bottom time. Explore the brilliantly bright sand bowl by the pin and marvel at the stunning rock formations covered in resplendent coral.

The Maze is an underwater wonderland that you'll keep coming back to, time and time again. So gear up, take a deep breath, and lose yourself in the beauty of The Maze.
