Site description
The Ernst Reef is a set of three barges that were sunk as an artificial reef. They are named after a well known and loved angler: Edgar Ernst.
The three barges can be visited in a single dive and they offer no penetration opportunities. The site brings a lot of marine life and it's a favorite for fisherman in the area. Divers should be aware of ghost monofilaments that may still be at the wrecks.
