Why dive here
Black Beacon is a dive in Taveuni & Somosomo Strait, Fiji. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest January, February, March.
Black Beacon usually delivers a solid dive, especially if you catch it when the current isn't too feisty. The site is an underwater pinnacle, and we've often seen grey reef sharks circling on the deeper side. Keep an eye out for schooling barracuda in the blue too. It's a good spot for divers comfortable with some drift, offering decent pelagic action.
