About Atrevida Reef

A reef dive. It goes down to 18 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SW: swell from the SW reaches it, and wind from the NE blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 36 km away. The sea is about 7°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 18°C in July, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood). The town to stay in is Powell River.
