KEOKIS LEDGE
15 to 60 feet
Beginner - Intermediate
The most dramatic
limestone formations Midway has to offer. Deep canyons, caverns, swim-through’s, arches, walls, and a large chamber in 20 feet housing a school
of Black Trevallies and an occasional Giant Trevally. This is an excellent
location for wide-angle photography. Although less populated than the south
reef, exciting animals pass through here, such as Hawaiian Monk Seals, Spinner
Dolphins, Tiger Sharks, and Tuna. Divers may also witness the great Convict Tang
migration that lasts for hours, starting in the late afternoon. Currents are
generally absent or mild during the calm summer months. Because this side
of the atoll is exposed to the full force of giant winter surf, the reef
topography changes from year to year. Twenty-five minutes from the dock after cruising
through scenic Welles Harbor.
