Leopard Shark Reef - Tachai Island

Leopard Shark Reef at a Glance

Depth: 5 - 25 m
Currents: Mild
Season: Nov. - May

Also called: Tachai Reef

Leopard Shark Reef runs along the east side of Tachai Island. It starts very close to shore and extends out around 100 meters or so. The sandy bottom is covered with thick patches of staghorn, fire, brain and other corals, around a few boulders here and there. I did a sunset dive here that was quite enjoyable, and this is a good spot for a night dive as well.

Leopard sharks are a common sight here, hence the common name for the reef, as well as parrotfish, lionfish and moray eels. On a night dive, you may see cuttlefish coming to investigate any lights.

The reef is a common mooring spot for the night, before making a run up to Richelieu Rock.
