Always dived on an incoming current. Enter where the channel opens to the open ocean, drift with the current. Large schools of barracuda and trevally are found near the beginning where the channel is nearly 100 feet deep. Towards the top of the channel it forks. Grab a rock at "the bleachers" on the right side of the main channel where it forks to the right. Hang out here at 60 feet to watch the grey reef sharks circling. Keep an eye out for hammerheads and manta rays coming through. Be careful leaving here, as the channel rapidly becomes only 15 feet deep and the current will try to push you shallow quickly. Check out the lagoon wall which slopes from 15 feet down to hundreds. A channel through the fringing reef of Gau Island into the lagoon. Dive from liveaboard
A outstanding dive site in front of Julia Roberts beach bungalow. Nearly always Manta Rays and Hammerheads can be spotted there, also lots of small reef sharks in the lagoon. Great Dive! A good 20 Minute Boat ride from the Levuka Harbour heading east. Just find the channel in front of the Island, and then dive the reef left hand shoulder until you hit the wall. Have fun!
