    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    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.
