Alexander Reef
Why dive here
Alexander Reef lies in a species-rich stretch of Manitoba & Prairie Lakes, with 30+ marine species recorded in the area.
Alexander Reef might not be what you picture when you hear "reef." Forget the tropical corals; this is a freshwater dive through an entirely different kind of ecosystem. We're talking Algoma District, where the focus shifts to species like the Jasper Longnose Sucker gliding over rocks and the quick dart of a Nine-spined Stickleback. It’s a quiet dive, often with decent visibility, giving you a chance to spot Cisco or even the occasional Slimy Sculpin tucked away. If you're keen on exploring what lies beneath Canada’s freshwater lakes, and appreciate the subtle beauty of endemic fish, Alexander Reef offers a genuinely unique perspective.
