DIVE SITES

Namena
 

This small island 20 miles to the south of Savusavu is surrounded by mile after mile of unexplored reefs. Seemingly bottomless drop-offs, multi-colored soft corals and perfect coral gardens support an abundance of marine life. This is the place to see
the big fish cruising in from the depths of the Koro Sea. Barracuda, spanish mackerel,
tuna, mantas and large sharks regularly patrol these reefs.

North Save-a-Tack
A wide channel with bommies covered in soft corals. The dive starts on the seaward
side of the channel, were a wall drops into the blue. A white-sand seafloor slopes
gently down to the top of the wall at 30m. Schooling hammerheads, barracuda, jacks
and tuna, huge groupers, grey reef sharks and giant rays are regularly seen. 

Jims Alley
a soft coral garden in shallow water, home to zillions of reef fish. Jim's is a prime example of the kind of soft coral diving for which Fiji is famous. Cluttered with multihued soft coral and nearly every kind of reef fish known, Jim's is a lush garden which leaves divers in awe. As an added bonus, Jim's is a regular stop for four or five mantas, who can frequently be found feeding in the adjacent channel during the waning tide. Macro photographers, too, love Jim's because of the profusion of little creatures living among the hard corals, soft corals, and fans.

Rat Passage
A narrow passage that cuts through the Motoriki barrier reef thats where all the action
is. This passage is patroled by big grey reef sharks and their schooling babies. Thats the
only place we have seen after more than 10 years of Diving in Fiji were you can see
schooling babies. Most of the time strong current along with schools of jacks and barracuda.

Great White Wall Rainbow Reef
A coral incrusted swim through which has two exits, the first exit at 10 m/30 ft, the second one at 27 m/88 ft. It leadsyou alongside the wall where the soft corals are found in dense concentration.
The soft corals are lavender in colour, but due to the depth we have a result of a pale white glow, giving itself the name "The Great White Wall". Currents are moderate to strong and surface conditions can get rough.

E6 Vatu-i-ra Channel
This seamount rises from 1,000m to the surface. This site is large enough to be spread
out over several dives. Currents tend to be mild. "The Cathedral" with mumerous
overhangs and canyons lined up in stunning gorgonian fans and soft corals. Around
noon the sun streams through the cracks in the ceiling and lights up the colourful garden. 

Nigali Passage, Gau
