Black Beacon is a reef and wall site in the Yasawa Islands, Fiji, featuring a vertical drop-off that ranges from 20 to 40 metres. This site is suited for intermediate divers comfortable with deep diving and buoyancy management. Divers access the wall by boat, where visibility remains consistent at 30 metres. While currents are generally mild, conditions can vary along the wall structure. Divers should remain aware of the potential for sharks in the area. Given the depth, careful monitoring of air consumption and bottom time is essential for a safe 40-minute dive.

Given the depth range, keep a close eye on your air consumption and bottom time from the moment you descend, as 40 metres eats through a tank quickly. Confirm current conditions with your boat operator on the day, as even mild currents can vary along the wall.
The resort is located on the West Coastal Road, Taveuni. Boats are moored at the nearby marina.
