Channel Crevices on Tokashiki Island is a complex reef site featuring walls, caverns, and multiple swim-throughs. Divers enter from the shore at Long Beach, crossing the reef to reach the deeper sections. A channel known as the Lazy River facilitates access to deeper water, though timing the tide is essential to manage the strong currents. The site reaches depths of 12 metres with visibility extending up to 45 metres. Due to the potential for rip currents and strong water movement, this site is suited for intermediate divers. A torch is recommended for navigating the cavernous swim-throughs. Facilities at the entry point include parking and toilets.
