About this dive site

This dive site, aptly named Canyon Reef, features dramatic underwater canyons carved into the reef structure. These canyons extend from the shallow areas at the reef top – typically between 15 and 20 feet deep – down to a significant drop-off reaching depths of 50 to 70 feet along the reef walls. Many of these channels exhibit distinctive overhangs, either partially or entirely closed off, suggesting a history of flowing water. The area boasts an abundant variety of hard corals and impressive colonies of Wire Coral, some measuring up to 10 feet in length. The formations provide a visually stunning dive experience.
