About this dive site
Soft-coral colour and reef drama in Somosomo Strait.
Rainbow Reef lives up to its name when current feeds the strait’s pastel soft corals and sea fans. Anthias clouds shimmer over hard-coral gardens while reef sharks and turtles work the slopes. Time the tide with a local guide, the same site can be a gentle drift or a brisk ride.
Most trips target May - October, but wind, swell and current still decide the day's site. Calendar peak is May - October, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Fiji day to day, not just the map pin.
