andrewstrip 03:15 UTC 03 Nov 2013 | Hello, I've been finding out that most of the ideal diving is on the outer island. Does anyone know of a dive spot around the mainland that hasn't been destroyed yet? Any help would be nice. I'm getting a bad feeling about my options for a good dive off the mainland. Andrew |

Volivoli used to have great dorms which made it very budget-friendly, though I heard they don't have those any more, which would be a shame. | 2

becks 22:56 UTC 05 Nov 2013 | I would say no… it's more than 100km away! If you want to dive the Rainbow Reef you'll need to get to Taveuni. If you do a google image search for Vatu-i-ra, you'll see that there's plenty to see from Rakiraki. Edited by: becks | 4
