About this site
Gwynn Island Reef sits near Gwynn Island at the mouth of the Piankatank River, where it meets the Chesapeake Bay on the Virginia coast. It is a shallow site, reaching a maximum depth of around 7.6 metres, and is considered suitable for beginners. Divers have also noted that the limestone rocks here can crumble easily, and that surge and waves are worth watching for at this site.
