Cesar’s Rock (5m-27m/15ft-90ft): A paradise for any diver. This spectacular site showcases several pinnacles that are covered in soft corals of every colour, huge gorgonian fans and black coral. One pinnacle features a stunning 3-way swim through with walls shrouded in golden soft corals and fans. Look for Blue Ribbon Eels, nudibranchs, lionfish, anthias as well as reef sharks and octopus. This is a diver’s favourite and deserving of more than a single dive.

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 (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.
Ponti’s Playground (3m-26m/10ft-85ft): A maze of large, colourful, coral encrusted bommies found next to a sloping drop-off, this dive site has numerous swim-throughs and overhangs to delight the adventurous diver. Hard coral gardens cover the slope up to the shallows with soft corals and fans on the bommies. This site is home to a variety of nudibranchs, moray eels, crustaceans and beautiful reef fish. Keep an eye out for eagle rays, white tip and grey reef sharks.
‘Seven Sisters’ – Beqa Lagoon delivers yet again with this fabulous aquarium-like dive site. Huge abundance and variety of hard and soft corals and tropical reef fish make this a marine biologists dream!
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.
