Karang Stort - Sumatra
Arrecife Topaciegos offers a solid reef dive in the Canary Islands. We've often spotted triggerfish patrolling the reef, and it's not uncommon to see red mullet foraging in the sand nearby. Keep an eye on the bottom for sting rays, they're usually tucked away. This site is a good choice for divers looking for a straightforward exploration of a healthy reef.
