Description: One of Fiji’s renowned dive sites, a wonderland awaits you. You begin the dive by disappearing down, down, down, through a tunnel to soft corals on the wall where it’s apparent how the dive site gained its name as a brilliant display of white corals, more expected on a ski slope than underwater, greets you. As you cruise along it is the white wall which surely grabs your attention, but also splashes of colourful soft corals, sea whips, gorgonian fans, sponges and crinoids make for dramatic viewing. The chance to then traverse the shallower reaches of the reef where lionfish, octopus, and morays come out to play and then do the tunnel & wall again....
