© REEF SAFARI FIJI, 0000 NADI
Sand Patch
★★★★★
(244)
Just a 5 minute boat ride from the Shore and tucked between a gap in the reef is a small “sandpatch“. The dive site sits at 18M and has ropes set out at the bottom of mooring lines at 12m & 18M for divers to hold onto and watch the sharks feed! The surrounding reef is also home to a good mix of Bio diversity.
The most frequently seen marine life here is black-tip and grey reef sharks. Moray eels, Titan triggerfish, many species of butterfly fish and Angel fish also call the reef home.
