Uepi Island

Uepi Elbow (24m): An incredibly steep drop-off. The sheer wall drops to depths in excess of 600m and is covered with colourful hard and soft corals. Keep an eye seawards as you are bound to see a variety of creatures swim by, including eagle rays, tuna, barracuda, king trevally, darts and of course sharks - particularly the seasonal hammerheads.

Charapoana Pier (36m): This dive takes the underwater explorer along a wall crammed with gorgonians, soft and hard corals and profusely growing Amphora sponges. A range of colourful marine life includes, schools of trevally, mackerel, sharks, rainbow runners, tuna, barracuda and smaller reef fish.

Landoro drop-off and coral gardens (14m): A varied dive, which takes in a drop-off and a tour through coral gardens. It is thought to be the largest range of soft and hard corals to be seen on one dive. A truly spectacular tour, with lots of smaller invertebrates, bull nose, stingrays and the occasional hammerhead.

Uepi Point: Charapoana Passage meets the ‘Slot’ at Uepi Point. A near vertical slope coated profusely with corals - especially gorgonian fans and colourful spiky soft corals. At 30m a peninsular juts out before the wall steeply drops off. This provides the stage for a spectacular procession of pelagic’s including schooling barracuda and sharks. Two bodies of water (from Charapoana Passage and The Slot) meet at this point and at various times (change of tide, high tide etc) the area becomes a hunting/feeding ground. As a result the underwater action can be very exciting. Overhead, large schools of trevally, jacks and fusiliers feed. Families of garden eels, an array of colourful gobies and a diverse collection of invertebrate life inhabit the sand patches of the shallows.

General Store: This dive requires a 15-minute boat trip to a neighboring island and the resort must pay a custom fee to the custom owners. The dive commences on a stunning drop off festooned with gorgonians. Large yellow nudibrancs are common and a chance to see live triton shells. After checking out the various depths, divers can come up to approximately 15m and enter a swim through which takes them into a shallow hard coral area. The variety of corals in this area is amazing - excellent photographic opportunities with interesting light effects.

Lumalihe Passage: A passage from the Marovo Lagoon to "The Slot" can be done on ingoing or outgoing tide. This is an impressive, long, deep-water passage. Prolific fish life, large fans, craggy overhangs, sharks.

Deku Dekuru: This dive includes a series of cave and cavern systems. Outstanding photo opportunities are possible with jungle overhanging the water. The point between the two cave areas also offers some interesting overhangs and corals.
