Paradise Reef is a beginner-friendly dive site with depths ranging from 30 to 40 feet, located south of the Puerto Maya Cruise Ship Pier. It features 2-3 coral ridges parallel to the shoreline, home to schools of grunts, snappers, and angelfish, along with barracuda and grouper. Divers can also spot smaller marine life such as spotted moray eels, smooth trunkfish, and spiny lobsters. Be mindful of the strong current, especially when approaching the cruise ships, and plan your ascent accordingly.
