Fantasea (3m-30m/10ft-100ft): An aptly named site – a delightful display of soft corals and anemones completely cover this stunning lone pinnacle creating a rainbow of colour. An undercut ledge is home to an array of massive Gorgonians while the pinnacle is home to schools of fusiliers, purple and orange anthias, nudibranchs, and Mantis Shrimps. Exploring this site makes it clear why Cousteau labelled Fiji as the ‘soft coral capital of the world’.

Golden Arch

Golden Arch (5m-20m/15ft-65ft): This incredible dive gets its name from an enormous archway swim-through that is covered in orange and yellow soft coral. While this archway is the star, there are many other coral-addled swim-throughs and crevices just waiting to be explored. Shallow up and enjoy the rocky pinnacles covered with fans and black corals as well as purple and pink soft corals. Reef sharks, schooling surgeon fish, tuna and barracuda can often be seen here.

Tasu Wreck

/in /by

TASU II Wreck (18m-26m/60ft-85ft): The TASU II was a 200-ton Taiwanese fishing vessel, deliberately sunk in 1994 as an artificial reef. Sitting upright in a well-protected area, this wreck is home to many types of reef fish and provides protection for juveniles. There is a great variety of macro subjects such as nudibranchs, popcorn shrimp, bubble coral shrimp, orangutan crab, pipefish and garden eels. The 25+ years that she has been submerged has allowed many hard and soft corals, fans, black corals and sponges to encrust her surfaces inside and out.
