Merida

Merida is a coastal dive site in a tropical Atlantic setting. The area typically features warm, clear waters with moderate visibility and gentle to moderate currents, making it suitable for a range of divers with local water conditions that can vary with tides. Expect typical Caribbean coral-reef and hard-bottom habitats in nearby reef systems, with abundant reef fish and invertebrates commonly seen along shallow to mid-depth profiles. Access is straightforward from nearby towns along the coast, and the site is commonly visited via local dive centers operating in the Riviera Beach and Palm Beach Shores areas. This site suits recreational divers looking for relaxed, ocean-proximate diving with opportunities to explore nearshore reefs and associated marine life.
