Canyon Reef in French Harbour and Sandy Bay features a series of deep canyons cutting through the reef top. These channels originate in shallow water at 3 to 6 metres and extend to the reef edge, where the wall drops to depths of 15 to 21 metres. The topography includes distinct overhangs and channels that suggest historical formation by running water. Divers can explore these structures, which host hard corals and colonies of wire coral reaching lengths of 3 metres. This site is suitable for intermediate divers, with boat access required and mild currents. Visibility typically ranges from 15 to 20 metres, and night diving is available.
