About This Dive Spot
Kansas Reef is a recently discovered deepwater site located at a depth range of 50 to 150 feet (17 to 51 meters). The name originates from a diver who noted that the movement of seaplumes in the currents resembled cornfields swaying in the wind. Divers can expect to see a variety of marine life, including mackerel, barracuda, and the occasional eagle ray or hawksbill turtle. Additionally, black durgeon and creole wrasse can be observed feeding in the currents, along with simnias and whip coral shrimps. Entry to the site is from the shore.
