Pure Magic
Keep a watchful eye for grey reef sharks and schooling barracuda, along with anemone and clownfish, soft coral and sponge, moray eels, grouper, banded sea krait, anthias, and the elusive octopus camouflaged amidst the rubble.
Famously recognized as the Vatu-i-Ra Conservation Park, "The Passage" ranks among Fiji's premier diving destinations on a global scale. While this park boasts exceptional world-class dive sites, do not overlook the equally breathtaking Midway Reef, Vatulaca Reef, Charybdis Reef, and Malake Passage in close proximity. From the western region of Fiji, the boat journey to "The Passage" typically lasts approximately one hour. It is important to note that this expansive conservation park encompasses over 110km², thus requiring some additional travel to certain sites. Embrace your dive experience and always honor the majesty of the ocean. For additional information about the Vatu-i-Ra Conservation Park, please visit divechamp.com.
Please be advised that there is a small supplementary fee of FJ$15 (subject to change) per diver, which includes an annual "membership" to access the reserve. Further details can be found at divechamp.com.
