Why dive here
With 449+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels and grey reef sharks - Nāfanua Bank offers some of Upolu's richest reef diving. Water sits around 29°C.
Labanderas Reef gives you a good feel for Jardines de la Reina's healthy reefs. We typically see sharks patrolling the wall here, often reef sharks and sometimes silkies. The coral formations are solid, healthy, and provide plenty of shelter for smaller reef fish. It’s a reliable dive for anyone wanting a classic Caribbean reef experience.
