Depth: 61.0^FT coordinates: 19.36868, -81.41805

The giant orange elephant ear sponges covering this site along with a spectacular canyon way give it its name. Situated on the northwest point there is often a brisk current to be aware of. Try it as a drift dive if you’re feel like having a laid back dive. With a 100 foot maximum depth if possible descend this colorful canyon using Nitrox.

A colorful favorite

I get goosebumps any time a boat captain mentions the possibility of hitching up to the Orange Canyon mooring pin. It's deep, dramatic, and bursting with color and life. The huge orange sponges make for a stunning photo subject, and lots of little critters can be found poking out of shelves and cracks between coral heads. I've found some big groupers with mouths open wide at cleaning stations and seen schools of horse eyed jacks giving divers' bubbles a curious once-over. I could dive this site every day!

What a Site!

This is probably one of the most colorful sites I've ever seen. It's a little deep. As I recall, my average depth was around 70 feet. Lots of schooling fish and turtles. The dive master shot 3 lion fish while we were there. Great dive!
