Desconocida Reef, United States

About Desconocida Reef

A reef dive. It goes down to 25 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SE: swell from the SE reaches it, and wind from the NW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 6°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 13°C in July, its warmest (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit). No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Port Alexander, is 93 km away. Nearest airport: KLW (KLW), 31 km.
