Flying Reef is a drift dive located off Crown Point, Trinidad and Tobago, characterised by a strong current that requires careful planning. The reef structure ranges from 5 to 15 metres in depth, with an average depth of 6 metres. Divers must access the site by boat. Due to the strong currents, shifting swell, and potential for low visibility, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Buoyancy control is essential to avoid contact with sharp coral and rocks present on the reef. Water temperatures remain consistent between 27 and 29 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Divers should monitor their gas supply and depth closely during the typical 45-minute dive.
