    McAllister Reef is one of the few natural coral reefs we’ve found in the Manitoba & Prairie Lakes region. It’s an interesting site, though not what most divers picture when they think “coral reef.” Here, you'll likely spot species like Mottled Sculpin, Yellow Perch, and pike moving through the corals. It's a solid choice for local divers keen to explore freshwater ecosystems and observe unique regional fish species.
