Several huge pillars loom up from the ocean floor supporting a great variety of life: Goldies, Wrasse, Snappers, Fusiliers, Bigeyes, while Game fish circle around. Gullies and holes each hide a surprise Nudibranks, Goatfish and Lizardfish among them.

At the southern edge of this crater, you’ll find a huge chimney reminiscent of that of a factory – this is what gives this reef its name. The chimney, which only has space for two divers at a time, is covered with brightly coloured nudibranchs and moray eels as well as clownfish and anemone fish and much more. Those with a keen eye should look out for the harlequin shrimp nestled into one of the reef’s many crevices.

Chimney Reef is also one of the five dive sites in Tofo where you have the chance of seeing whale sharks on scuba so keep your eyes peeled! Another of our “LEMON & HERB” rated dive sites, Chimney Reef is suitable for all levels including newly qualified divers or those looking to refresh their skills.

Perfect site for getting back into the water or brushing up on your skills.

Inspiration:

"For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it." – JACQUES COUSTEAU

The rare and endangered dugong, octopus, and the homely, fascinating crocodile fish are just a few of the occupants around these islands.

HERE ARE THE BENEFITS YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ATTENDING THIS TRAINING PROGRAM:

 Try an adventure dive from a variety of SSI Specialty programs

Do look out for your safety when you dive as a solo traveller. Regardless of your experience or certification. I never recommend diving solo. The previous page, where you found this article, has a section dedicated to diving safely as a solo traveller. Please be sure to read it through, if you haven’t already. Enjoy!
