The Lomaiviti archipelago sits at the geographical heart of Fiji, and its dive sites reflect that central position with a wide spread of conditions and formats. Nigali Passage draws divers for its current-swept channel, where grey reef sharks and dogtooth tuna are regularly seen along the walls. Black Wall descends to fifty metres for those comfortable at depth, while shallower sites accommodate beginners. All sites require boat access from the nearest town of Levuka. The species list includes whale sharks, Napoleon wrasse, blacktip and whitetip reef sharks, green sea turtles, and pygmy seahorses, making this one of the more varied corners of Fijian diving.
