Dive enthusiasts will find Maya Corner just inside the northern entrance of the bay, following the coastline north. This dive site features a steep shelved reef with intermittent wall sections, offering a diverse underwater landscape.

Additionally, stingrays and black-tip reef sharks can occasionally be spotted in this area. The reef itself is adorned with hard corals, providing a vibrant backdrop for underwater exploration. Adventurous divers can also explore the swim-throughs filled with sweepers.

For snorkelers, Maya Bay offers a large and shallow bay teeming with colorful patch corals and schools of reef fish.

As expected, divers can encounter a wide variety of reef fish commonly found in the region.
