Escape Reef
About Escape Reef
This reef lies on the Caribbean side close to where conditions begin to transition toward the Atlantic. It is known for fast-moving water that can reach around 2 knots, creating a dynamic dive where marine life can appear and pass quickly. Most of the reef is in the 12–21 m range, with some parts reaching about 30 m. Large elephant ear and barrel sponges add color, and schooling fish are common when the current is running.
