Gavutu F4F Wildcat (Wreck)

★★★★☆ (5)

Thought to be the aircraft flown (and ditched) by WW2 pacific air ace Lt James Swett, this aircraft lies on a sandy bottom at 42m. As is common with most aircraft, the propellor is missing and the engine cowling has fallen off. A wonderful wreck best dived at the slack tide.

Very silty site with trevelly and snapper living around it. A resident painted crayfish lives by the starboard undercarriage.

Twin Tunnels Reef (★4.2)

Twin Tunnels Reef (★4.2)

This pinnacle reef rises up from the the bottom at 70+ m to within 15m of the surface. Two vertical shafts descend from the reef top to a chamber and cave exit at 36m where both predator and prey congregate in the current. Healthy, colorful, and vibrant where a single dive hardly does it justice.
