To reach a port we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift.

Euaiki, Vava'u, Tonga

The best kept secret of Vava'u! This amazingly active and diverse snorkel
site can entertain you for hours. Work your way from the west side of the
resort's pier right from the very shallows out and along to the
westernmost point and then down a little. You might want to have two
attempts so you catch it all. The pipefish that litter the reef are a real
treat and if you hit it as the light starts to fade you will see more and
more of the painted rock lobsters' with their dead giveaway white
antennae.

Beautiful rich and abundant life, fingering reefs which go quite deep
pretty quickly and the most enormous boxfish we've seen. Would be a good
dive site too.

Stunning clear water with a few corals and little algae make with loads of
inquisitive Galapagos sharks and kingfish make this a unique and
impressive site. A great mix of temperate (demoiselle armies, clouds of
blue maomao, dragon moray, trumpetfish and northern kahawai) and tropical
species (crown of thorns starfish, striped boarfish, lionfish, lord howe
coralfish and toadstool grouper), a good few enedmics too like the
Kermadec scalyfin, caramel drummer and giant limpets. But most exquisite
of all, the behemoths of the reef, the spotted black grouper!

Gorgonian Forest, Tu'ungasika, Vava'u, Tonga

Fabulous gorgonian fans are the star feature of this site but it would be
a brilliant site even without them, it has a great swim-through tunnel and
an active cleaning station with pelagics like dogtooth tuna regularly
turning up on the southern side. Trumpetfish, yellow-fin goatfish,
cornetfish and spotted unicornfish are prominent.

Split-apple Rock, Tu'ungasika, Vava'u, Tonga

Start in the northwest and head southeast. The dramatic and very
picturesque split-apple rock can be found here. Lots of soft corals,
awesome swim throughs, and great fish diversity including emperor
angelfish, guineafowl puffers, pyramid butterflyfish, fire dartfish and
phliddea nuidbranchs.

Lovely diving, fusiliers, peacock, coral, masked and black saddle coral
groupers, bicolor rabbitfish and all the usual suspects plus a bonus
turtle.

Chimneys, Namena Island, Fiji

Beautiful colourful fish and coral dive, chimneys covered in clouds of
bright pink, orange and purple anthias with schools of blue streak
fusiliers and the odd boldly patterned clown triggerfish lurking by.

Grand Central, Namena Island, Fiji

  • Read more about Grand Central, Namena Island, Fiji

Amazing diving with beautiful basin rich with life and solid wall drop
off. Great schools of big-eye barracuda and trevally, grey reef sharks
hovering off the drop-off and lots of big pelagic fish like tuna cruising
by.
