Nagigia Island has only recently been discovered as a world class dive location with some of Fiji’s deepest waters, year round outstanding visibility and fish life of a magnitude rarely seen in today’s over exploited world. This is still truly a pristine marine enviroment with wall dives to rival any in the world offering caves, swim throughs and amazing underwater canyons for some very exciting diving adventures - right off the island! This area is a major Manta Ray breeding area as they are frequently seen with very young juveniles cruising along the spectacular wall drop offs and rising from the azure depths to greet diving parties.
The indigo water here is a clear indication that the visibility is truly special, and the water drops quite deep. The dive begins with a gentle slope running down to twenty metres or so. Here the reef is healthy and dominated by lobe and porites corals, and green sponges. Warty finger corals host pretty, pixy hawkfish, white-tailed damsels swim across your approach, green turtles dive from your advance. Once down to twenty metres the reef begins to slope steeply away. Now the landscape in punctuated by deep crevices through which swim black and white banded sea snakes. Gold and green seafans populate the steep bank, taking advantage of the steady currents. Pinktail triggerfish and pinstriped angelfish move up and down the wall.
At certain times during the dive, the bank is so heavily indented that you'll need to swim out a little into the blue. Look down into the deep water here because hammerhead sharks are sometimes glimpsed lurking in the depths. More often though, you'll see small schools of blacktailed barracuda moving on mass through the open sea. http://www.divetheworldfiji.com/
