Diving Sites in Savusavu
Check out these exciting locations that offer one of the best sites to dive in Fiji.
Dream House
Dream House was so named because it is directly off-shore from what was somebody’s “Dream House” on the land. This sea mount hosts many pelagic species such as Yellow Tail and Blackfin Barracuda, Spanish Mackerel and Dogtooth Tuna in addition to the Whitetip and Grey Reef sharks and the resident school of 100+ Scalloped Hammerheads. The West -facing wall also has beautiful soft corals while morays, nudibranchs and popcorn shrimp can be found on the top of the reef.
Purple Garden
The abundance of colorful soft corals around three coral heads in close proximity created a garden-like array. Sometimes a temporary home for sea turtles and Napoleon Wrasse this site has something for everyone. The swim-thru, associated canyons and the presence of “magic coral” add to the enjoyment of this site.
Cocktail Canyon
Beautiful healthy pinnacle with an abundance in soft and hard coral and marine life. The site consist of 3 pinnacles that project from 100 feet to 30 feet. This site is suitable for Advance Divers.
Dungeons and Dragons
At high tide on a sunny day the swim-thrus and caverns which make up this dive are at there best. With no need to return to the entry point, divers can enter and exit caverns as they make their way along the reef which is home to giant clams and magic coral. Spotted Eagle Rays are often seen on this dive in addition to the odd Whitetip Reef Shark and Hawksbill turtle.
Turtle Alley
Dive sites have obvious names in Fiji and this one is no exception as both Hawksbill and Green turtles can regularly be seen on this wall dive. It is suitable for all experience levels while also being a great snorkelling site. Its interesting topography with many coral heads and channels adds to the excitement of not knowing what may be around the next corner. The macro life will also keep the photographers happy with Popcorn Shrimp and a variety of nudibranchs.
Grand Central Station Namena
Said to be as busy as the New York subway station of the same name, this drift dive has everything. Initially the diver moves through masses of Fusiliers and Red Tooth Triggers before the patrolling Grey Reef Sharks come into view. They usually out-number the Whitetips but are in turn out-numbered by the circling schools of Bigeye Trevally and Barracuda. The latter part of the dive is all about the soft corals and the safety stop on top of the reef offers masses of Anthias and Blue Tangs.
