Vuna Reef Dive Sites - 4 to 15 minutes from Paradise
Paradise Reef
One of our favourite sites, this reef is located directly off the Paradise oceanfront. In one
direction a labyrinth of lava flow covered in stunning hard and soft corals, swarming in
tropical reef species, shallow and bright – a photographers dream! In the other a fantastic
training site with a variety of terrain to make the most of your learning experience. We utilise
this site for night diving and snorkelling is spectacular any time of the day. All local species are
represented here and the colours are stunning.
Fish Factory
Stunning hard plate corals, lots of ambient light, multicoloured patches of soft coral, giant
clams and swarms of reef fish at a depth of less than 60f/20m make this a popular site for
photographers, beginners and repetitive divers.
Coral Garden
Nicknamed Nirvana and only a few minutes by boat from the Resort, this is one of our best
dive sites. 3 fingers of lava once streamed into the ocean and are now covered with a variety
of hard and soft coral species. Rays, sharks and big schools of barracuda are the keepers of
the Coral Garden. Schools of trevally,snappers and tunas abound. It’s an overdose of
everything!
Orgasm
Vuna Reef at its finest! This wall dive faces Open Ocean and it’s here that we have seen our
favourite regulars, sharks, rays and napoleon wrasse. Drift by schools of batfish or giant tuna
from the deep. All this in only 60f /20m, a truly awe-inspiring dive site that never seems to
disappoint.
Tavoro Cave
This deep wall dive has got it all. A spooky Cave at 90f/30m, swim thrus, and lots of life. The
topography of this site is striking, a sheer wall with plenty of gullies. Look up into clouds of reef
fish, look down to reef sharks, and look out to barracuda, tuna and turtles. A scuba diving
experience not easily forgotten.
Pinnacles
This deep seamount stands a little off Vuna Reef and attracts large manta rays and other
large visitors as well as smaller schooling species. It is here that in the season, we receive the
occasional visitor to our waters, the whale sharks.
Stairs
Beginning the dive on the top of the reef, you are greeted by hard plate corals of all colours
and among them titan trigger fish, parrot fish and wrasse. From here, dive down through a
swim through covered in soft corals and out onto an inverted wall swathed in pure white soft
coral. Then back up the stairway, under the arches enveloped in white and purple soft corals.
All types of reef sharks and barracuda often visit this site. A favourite amongst our Pro Dive
team!
Rainbow Reef - 18 minutes from Paradise
The Great White Wall
The soft coral capital of the world offers an astounding wall of pure white soft coral. This site
is definitely the world famous Rainbow Reef’s top draw. A coral incrusted swim through leads
onto the wall from the reef top. A dazzling myriad of colour and life inhabits the reef top.
Manta rays glide past with ethereal grace. On exiting the water from this site an awed silence
lasts for a while before an excited chatter that lasts for days starts among divers. Not to be
missed!
Rainbow Passage
In terms of fish life and soft corals, the sheer abundance on this site is incredible. The top of
the reef starts at 12 metres and gradually slopes to 20 metres. Covered by some very unique
soft corals not found in similar form or in this abundance anywhere else on a Fiji dive. Well,
the name speaks for itself!
Purple Wall
This is one of the truly stunning sites on the Rainbow Reef. It deserves it’s billing as one of
the worlds top dive sites. A solid wall of purple soft coral and more species than can be
counted. You will not want to leave!
