French Reef
Popular for it's coral caves and "swim-throughs", French Reef offers the chance to observe many species of fish and other reef creatures. Some never leave the shelter of the coral caves and tunnels. Well known sites on the reef include: Hourglass Cave, Christmas Tree Cave, and Sand Bottom Cave. French Reef has large formations of elk horn corals.
A well visited site, this reef is a great second dive from either the Spiegel Grove or the Benwood wrecks. The reef is well known for its swim throughs. And has numerous examples to offer in depths between 15 and 40 feet. This is a good choice for divers and snorkelers who are not wanting to deal with currents, as it is generally protected from them. But due to the lack of water movement, visibility can be affected. Some of the larger pelagic like Manta Rays, Eagle Rays, Hammerhead and Black Tip Reef sharks are spotted here.
Depth range 25-45 ft.
