"Middle Reef is a large reef with a well defined ridge near the Sand Channel and wide area of kelp and boulders to the west. Relatively easy navigation and endless sights to see make this the go-to dive area."[1]
Not to be confused with the Middle Reef in Breakwater Cove.

WARNING! OpenDiveSites.org is a community-run site. While we do our best to keep information up-to-date, no content on this site should be construed as authoritative, complete, or correct. Scuba or free diving and other aquatic activities are inherently dangerous and can pose a risk of injury or death; the information on this site will not mitigate that. We hope you find our information helpful, but we must never be your sole source of navigational information, awareness of dive conditions, site hazards, or legal restrictions -- it is a repository of community-submitted content, not a divemaster.
