About Langley Tire Reef

This is quite a dive site. There is a huge tire reef here at the base of the piling breakwater for the Langley Marina. It's not very deep...40-50 feet...and it is covered in life. There are lots of anemones, perch, rockfish, sea stars and some red octopus. In general, the dive profile is to surface swim out to the breakwater and drop down onto the bottom of the pilings that make the breakwater. Then drop down a bit, going through the rocks, and end up looking around the tires. There are lots of crevices where life likes to hide. *Description taken from http://huskychemist.org/scuba/DiveSites/LangleyTireReef.htm

Dive Site Hazards

Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.
Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.
Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

Unstable Visual Ascents — Relying on wall visuals can destabilise ascents.

Gradual Depth Creep — Lack of visual bottom reference can cause unnoticed descent.

Unsignalled Downcurrents — Downcurrents can form without visible indicators.
