Why dive here
With 477+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, dolphins and eagle rays - Seafan Alley offers some of Tubbataha Reef's richest reef diving.
Seafan Alley, at the far western end of Kadavu, is where we often kick off a trip. Dropping down at the edge of Nagigia Island, where the swells break, you'll hit a wall that bottoms out around 24 meters. The name isn’t just for show, as massive gorgonian fans really do line the reef, some stretching a couple of meters across. We often see reef sharks cruising the current here, and occasionally a manta will glide by. It's an intermediate dive, best for those comfortable with a bit of a drift.
