House Reef WEST

Purely a navigation specialty course training site or a test for experienced underwater navigators w/several way-points, compass headings & legs covering a combination of sandy/muddy reference void bottom, sloping sand, sea grass, reef structure, coral & moorings between 1msw to 16msw. Put yourself to the test!

A super easy site directly in front of the resort, walk-in/walk-out entry/exit starts in 1msw & gradually slopes down to 18msw, best diving is typically 2msw to 10msw. Initially looks quite sparse however for the macro lover with a keen eye there is lots to see. Can be dived 24/7 however incoming tide is best.

Site starts in 1m & drops off to 14m, best diving is typically within the 5msw to 10msw range, visibility is typically low, can be dived 24/7 however incoming tide offers better visibility. Easy walk in shore entry or boat drop, excellent for macro lovers with a keen eye (bring a maginifying glass) & go slow.

Heavy duty mooring for SY Fiji Siren starting at the surface & dropping to 19msw in heavy thick mud. Typically we dive this site for a NAVIGATION specialty course w/students setting compass bearing back to shore. Bottom is flat dark grey mud w/no visible refrences so this is ideal for ’trusting your equipment’.

Another lovely shore dive with lots of fish life, it can also be done by a boat drop just 3 or 4-minutes (1km) from the resort, visibility is typically low at around 6m/20’ however excellent for searching for critters and can be dived 24-hours a day. This is best dived on an incoming tide. Enjoy!

Small pinnacle with the top just breaking the surface at low tide & sloping down to 16msw on a muddy bottom. As the name suggests the visibility is low & can be anywhere from 1mtr to 4 or 5mtrs, the top is approx 150/200mtrs in circumference & the bottom approx 400/500mtrs so choose a direction & explore slowly.

A gentle sloping sandy bottom starting on the shoreline leading down to 6 simple & pretty bommies in 15msw - excellent for a relaxing dive, beginners, macro lovers & we often use this for OWD or NAVIGATION specialty courses when northely winds are blowing.

Combination of a wall & bommie dive consisting of a heavily decorated wall extending out to a myriad of small bommies starting at the surface & bottoming out at 15msw which can be dived at anytime & ideal for inexperienced divers & macro lovers alike.

Papuan Explorer was a 140’/42m steel cargo vessel scuttled as a wreck dive site in the 80’s.
