Supports the broader Tofo reef-life and shallow-dive context.
Local operator required
A local Tofo operator is the practical way to handle the boat launch and choose the day’s reef circuit.
Short boat dive from Tofo with a compact reef, easy depth, and enough structure to reward a slow one-pass circuit.
About Salon
Salon is a compact Tofo reef dive that gives you a shallow top, a tidy base, and plenty of room to slow down and work the whole reef. The site is short enough to feel efficient but varied enough to keep macro hunters and fish watchers busy as they move around the coral and rock. Plan for a quick boat run and ordinary reef timing, because the site is better as a relaxed reef circuit than as a long-current run.
