About 12lb Reef

12lb Reef is a drift dive site located on Lonsdale Wall and its name has a similar pedigree to that of 16lb Reef. It is home to some massive crayfish getting its name from a story of a Cray diver; the story goes like this: a Cray diver caught sight of the monster Cray in its cave, and grabbed it - but the real fact is that the Cray actually caught him: by the time he reached the surface with the Cray, the two were still locked in mortal combat! Whoever let go first would lose! There could be plenty more of these cheeky critters still lurking here, so if you fancy your skills as a Cray conqueror, it's definitely worth a look. The many overhangs and soft corals make this a popular and picturesque dive site and great for open water training dives as well.
