Récif du Serpent - Québec
Arrecife Cayo Mégano Chico, tucked away in the Florida Keys, offers a solid dive for those looking to spend a relaxed afternoon underwater. You'll find a good spread of coral here, including some respectable formations of Boulder Brain Coral and Branched Finger Coral. Keep an eye out for Dark Green Parrotfish nibbling away, and we often spot schools of Porkfish and Grunt weaving through the reef. It’s a comfortable site, not too demanding, making it a good pick if you're keen on a chill dive with decent fish activity without strong currents to contend with.
