The No Name Reef is located between Punta Negra and Grampin and is part of the Punta Cancun Reef system. Â
This reef features coral formations that are similar to those found in other parts of the reef system. It has a wall or barrier on one side and a plain of algae on the other. The wall rises approximately 2 to 3 meters (6 to 10 feet) high, is shaped like a half-moon and includes a couple of swim-throughs for divers.Â
The shallow reef is known for its currents, which can create enjoyable drift dives that range from mild to medium intensity. These currents attract pelagic marine life, and divers may encounter large eels and, on occasion, blacktip sharks, which adds excitement to the dive. However, it's important to note that a negative entry is required for successful access to the dive site, so having some prior experience is beneficial.
