Why dive here
With 191+ marine species recorded in the area - including tiger sharks, whitetip reef sharks, lionfish, napoleon wrasse and pufferfish - Fagamalo Reef offers some of Savai'i's richest reef diving. Water sits around 29°C.
Fagamalo Reef offers a gentle intermediate dive along Savai'i's northern coast. We generally drop to around 15-20 meters, finding large table corals and decent staghorn formations. Keep an eye out for Honeycomb Groupers and Lemon Peels darting between the coral heads, and you might spot a reef shark cruising by. It’s a solid, calm dive, good for getting back into things or just enjoying a relaxed afternoon.
