Spider Reef
Why dive here
Spider Reef lies in a species-rich stretch of Great Lakes, with 30+ marine species recorded in the area.
Spider Reef, in the Great Lakes, offers a unique opportunity to dive a freshwater reef system. While it's not a coral reef in the tropical sense, you'll encounter species like lake whitefish, burbot, and various suckers navigating the rocky structures. We often spot sea lamprey here, a fascinating if sometimes unsettling sight. This site is best for divers interested in freshwater ecology and the distinct species found in the Great Lakes.
