Récif Fortune in New England offers a different kind of reef dive. Think less coral and more rugged rock structures, home to cold-water species like mottled sculpin, yellow perch, and burbot. Visibility varies, but the chance to spot pike or walleye in their natural habitat makes it a good pick for divers keen on freshwater or cold-water ecology. It's a solid, specific dive for those looking beyond tropical clichés.
