How Hot is this Dive Site? click a star to rate it
Our newest dive site only discovered in early 2008, this site has turned out to be another Kadavu site where manta rays can be seen regularly.

Even without these magnificent creatures, the reef itself is outstanding in its quality and diversity of fish life.

If you see mantas as well, this dive will always rank amongst the best you will ever do.
