Amazon

This reef is shaped like an C, formed by two ledges with craters and large swim-throughs. It is wild, untamed and unspoiled as it is seldom visited. Because it is so far out the visibility is generally very good, the reef is teeming with reef and pelagic fish. One of the few places in Tofo to see leopard sharks.
