About Flying Reef
Flying Reef is a shallow Crown Point drift reef with a gentle profile that can run faster when the current picks up. The site mixes coral gardens, reef structure, and a steady lineup of rays, turtles, sharks, snappers, and other tropical fish, so it works best as a guided boat dive.

Local Intel For Flying Reef
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Flying Reef is a shallow drift dive with a gentle reef edge and occasional faster flow when the current picks up. It is a good reef dive for divers who want an easy profile with enough movement to keep it interesting.
Freediving
Not a natural freedive-first site because the profile is better handled as a guided scuba drift.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling may be possible in very calm conditions, but the site is mainly a scuba drift and is not the primary use case for snorkelers.
