| Wananavu
Resort is situated at Rakiraki, Viti Levu's most Northern point (Fiji's
main island) and about a 2 hours drive from Nadi Airport. The diving in
this region is one of the best diving areas in Fiji |
|
Approximate time of departure every morning is 9am, depending on where
you are staying. If you are doing two morning dives, approximate time of
return is 1pm.
The boat trip to most of
our dive sites is between 20-25 minutes. Dive sites are selected on the
basis of tidal movements to ensure maximum enjoyment from dives. Of
course if you request to view a certain marine creature or coral
formation, an appropriate site will be chosen whenever possible. Whatever your level of
experience and your special interests, Ra Divers will do their best to
accommodate you.

| Dive Sites:
Fiji boasts the
second largest reef system in the world and is well preserved. The
endless miles of untouched reef surrounding the white sand beaches of
Nananu-I-Ra Island contain an abundance of marine life fed by the
island’s close proximity to the Vatu-I-Ra Channel dividing the main
island – Viti Levu - from Fiji’s second largest island – Vanua
Levu. The Channel is a natural conduit for nutrients which emanate from
the Tonga Trench which passes by Taveuni and the northern waters of
Nananu-I-Ra Island.
There are more than
fifty dive sites which Ra Divers regularly visit, most of which are no
more than 20 minutes by boat from the island.

Amazing
Maze
In
the middle of the outer reef surrounding Nananu-I-Ra Island is
a real maze. Tunnels, swim-throughs and canyons make up this
wonderful dive site starting from 18-20m up to 10m. Every
possible coloured reef fish that can be imagined swarm through
the multicoloured soft coral. Black coral trees and Gregonian
Fans hang off the tunnel walls while Clown, Triggerfish and
Squirrel Fish dash in and out.
|
|
Black
Forest
A single
pinnacle rising from a depth of 19m to 5 m covered with ancient
black coral trees from bottom to top. The black coral trees are
swarming with Moorish Idol, Butterfly fish and Squirrelfish.
This spot is Nananu-I-Ra’s best display of black coral trees
in one particular pinnacle which is isolated from the main reef
system.
|
|
Breathtaker
A deep reef
where schools of big fish and many sharks are found. The
principal area consists of three coral heads at a depth of
25-30m with a drop-off to about 100m. White Tip, Black Tip,
Whalers and Gray Reef Sharks are at this particular spot at all
times. Truly an experience of a lifetime. Schools of Barracuda,
Spanish Mackerel, Trevally, Skipjack and Amberjack are seen here
roaming the coral heads with the sharks. The last coral head has
an amazing display of giant purple fans. Turtles are often found
here and if one’s lucky – the elusive Manta Ray. This spot
is Nananu-I-Ra’s best display of very big fish, and with so
many different species of sharks at one spot, and at any time of
day, is truly the last frontier.
|
|
Dolphin
Bay
Three large
coral heads in approximately 18m of water situated some distance
from the main reef where dolphins that migrate through the area
are often seen. Schools of bat fish inhabit the reefs which are
covered in a mixture of hard corals, gorgonians and whips.
|
|
Dreammaker
A large
part of the outer reef in three sections containing gigantic
walls of soft golden corals and multi-coloured corals. One of
the best displays of live soft coral in Fiji. The walls of coral
are truly magnificent. Three separate walls of soft coral each
different to the other with the deepest part of the dive in 18m
and an average depth of 14-16m. Box fish and surgeon fish are
seen in profusion with a group of deep sea snapper regularly
present near the reef. Electric rays are occasionally seen
during the dive.
|
|
Enchanted
Canyons
Fourteen
coral heads with caverns, canyons, tunnels and swim-throughs.
Huge gorgonians partially block the tunnels while multi-hued
soft coral hang from the walls of the canyons. Schools of
Moorish Idol, Clown, Dansel and Regal Fish shimmer among the
stands of staghorn and stump coral formations. Schools of
Batfish normally swim around the deeper edges of the canyons.
|
|
Golden
Dreams
Six
spectacular coral heads covered with yellow soft coral top to
bottom. Even the walls and roofs of every tunnel are covered
with yellow soft coral. Fiji’s best display of golden coral.
Schools of Red Bass and Coral Trout roam hunting for food, while
Barracuda, Spanish Mackerel and Trevally can be seen in the
background. Turtles, Stingrays and Sharks are often found here
towards the sixth coral head at a depth of 21m. The dive spot
starts off at 21m and rises to 11m with golden waterfalls of
yellow soft coral all around.
|
|
Macarena
A
section of reef where four coral heads sit in approximately 22m
of water on the outer edge of the reef. Schools of Trevally and
Rainbow Runners feed in the area and are abundant. Sponges and
huge Sea Stars accompany the great number of gorgonians to be
seen.
|
|
The
Mushroom
More
than a dozen superb coral heads covered with multicoloured soft
corals. Gorgonians in vivid red hang from the tunnel walls.
Emperor and Regal Angelfish patrol through the stands of Sea
Whips while Coral Trout lazily circle the area. Hours could be
spent at this one site observing the many varieties of
Nudibranch in their different shapes, sizes and colours. Maximum
depth is 18m.
|
|
Neptunes
Wedding Chapel
A
shallow dive to a maximum depth of 16m with an abundance of
corals that simply glow with every colour. This site is made up
of four coral heads and has some tunnels and one large cave. The
walls of the cave are covered with red and purple soft corals
and red gorgonian fans hang off the roof of the cave. This site
is prolific in Moray Eels and Giant Clams.
|
|
The
Pavillion
Four
superb coral heads abundant with tropical fish. One cannot
see more tropical fish at any other dive spot and this site is
an underwater photographer’s paradise. Stands of Sea Whips,
multicoloured soft coral and yellow gorgonians hang off the
sides of the coral heads. The maximum depth is 18m.
|
|
The
Pinnacles
Four deep
coral heads which reach 35m on the landward side and drop off
much deeper on the seaward side. At the shallower depths a wide
range of tropical fish are seen meandering amongst the yellow
soft corals and deeper schools of larger fish including
barracuda, tuna, trevally and mackerel with the occasional reef
shark can be found.
|
|
Sally's
Choice
A multiple
series of coral heads descending to approximately 22m, each some
5m apart containing many swim-throughs, caverns and caves upon
which are encrusted many coloured soft corals and gorgonians.
Spanish mackerel, rock cod, black trevally and black tipped reef
sharks are commonly encountered.
|
|
Seqa
na Leqa
A
giant swim-through in approximately 20m leading from the outer
sea to the main reef. Coral trout, Rock Cod, Red Emperor
entertain the passing divers who become fascinated with the
homing morays while navigating the multiple swim-throughs and
caverns
|
|
Serafina
Two large
reefs rising from the midst of the open sea on the outer
sections of the main reef. In some 26m of water is a vast
display of hard and soft corals in pristine condition with many
large reef fish and cruising sharks patrolling the area. The
spaciousness and spectacular sights are overwhelming.
|
|
Small
World
The vast
variety of marine life at this one diving spot makes it
difficult to simply describe. Starting off at 10m all the way to
16m, it displays a true Disneyland of nature. Multi-hued soft
corals, hard corals and huge gorgonians hang from every coral
head, while Sea Whips sway with the slight passing current. This
area is also prolific in Fluted and Giant Clams. Nudibranch and
Spanish Dancers act in their corner while Coral Trout lazily
watch.
|
|
The
Arch
A large
coral head in 18m of water in which openings resembling doors
and windows are inset reminiscent of a boat off which hang many
corals and gorgonians. Sweet lips regularly cruise in and out
curiously observing the divers and the many smaller reef fish.
|
|
Tunnel
City
This is one
spot where the coral heads are honeycombed with tunnels and
caves like nowhere else. For the adventurer, this is the site to
visit. Long and winding tunnels, dark corners and very spooky
caves where one needs to have eyes in the back of their head to
watch for the unexpected. Maximum depth is 19m- average 12m
|
|
The
Papuan Explorer
Fiji's
largest and most accessible wreck, the 140ft "Papuan
Explorer", situated in approximatley20 meters of water and
the home of an abundant array of tropical fish
