About This Site

Canyon Reef is aptly named for the deep canyons that cut from the shallows at the reef top in 15 to 20 feet of water out to the reef edge which drops typically to 50 to 70 feet at the exit points on the reef wall. Some of these channels have overhangs at the top which are closed or nearly closed. In some areas it is very evident that these channels were formed by once running water. This area has an abundance of hard corals in addition to colonies of Wire Coral, some 10 feet in length.
