About Ron’s Reef
Ron’s Reef is a boat-access Apra Harbor drift dive that starts near the harbor and runs west into clearer water. It’s known for blue coral in the shallows, a wide mix of fish and occasional pelagics, and it rewards divers who are comfortable managing current and boat traffic overhead. Go with a local boat operator and treat it as a drift, not a casual shore hop.
