Mana Wall

Last dive of the season in Fiji's Mamanuca Archipelago

Mana Wall
Mana Wall. Last dive of the season in Fiji. Here with the crews of Chaos, Hudson, and Fundango.

Mana Wall has been on my list of dive spots. It was my last dive of the season here in Fiji. The crews of Chaos, Fundango, Hudson, and Roam, got together and booked a boat with Subsurface dive shop in Musket Cove. We headed first to the Wreck of the Salamanda. Our second dive there. The visibility wasn’t as good as our first dive, but still fun.

After, we had a short chat with the Subsurface crew about what might make for a good second dive. We decided on the Mana Wall which today was on the lee side of Mana Island (home of Survivor). It was an easy drift, full of great coral and critters. A nice end to the diving season in Fiji.
