About Tarpon Channel
Tarpon Channel is the east-side canyon reef off Little Corn Island, with steep walls that drop into a narrow passage and a dramatic wall-style profile. It is known for tarpon, shark encounters, and a strong open-water feel when conditions are calm enough to make the channel easy to read. The site is more about steep terrain, visibility, and larger wildlife than about a shallow coral garden.
