Razorback- awesome dive site at Mango Bay

Image
When we started diving from Mango Bay we immediately discovered some great dive sites. Virtually the first dive we did was Razorback, straight out from Namatakula channel on the corner of the main reef. This dive site is a long ridge that runs out to sea at right angles to the main reef. The ridge is narrow with big dropoffs on either side, starting at around 18 metres by the main reef and sloping down and away until it disappears into the deep blue. Because of its angle to the main reef currents bump into it and push up and over it, meaning a lot of marine life likes to hang around here and enjoy the scenery.

The Beachouse

Located on Fiji's magnificent Coral coast halfway between Nadi (this is where overseas flights land and is pronounced Nandi) and Suva (Capital of Fiji Islands), the Beachouse is ideal for those who want a central home base. You can take advantage of the great outings nearby such as village visits, jungle and waterfall treks or simply relax and enjoy our beachside location. You can also enjoy sea-kayaking , snorkelling, beach horse-riding , boat/fishing trips, inexpensive massage or simply laze in a hammock on the beachfront. There are many other activities (some of which are organised by local Fijiian villagers) The Beachouse is nestled within a delightful four hectare coconut grove fringed by a white sandy beach with a living coral reef only metres away! For the surfers there is a surfable reef break a little further out. The Beachouse offers the best of Fiji's natural beauty and charm.
