Boat reef wall with swim-throughs in Fiji's Bligh Waters
Boat reef wall with swim-throughs in Fiji's Bligh Waters
A local boat operator is the normal way in and out, and the current timing matters.
Breath Taker is a current-swept reef wall in Fiji's Bligh Waters, reached by boat from the Rakiraki/Volivoli side. The dive follows a steep coral face with slots, swim-throughs, and a deeper point where sharks and barracuda often patrol. It suits experienced scuba teams that time the tide, hold tight buoyancy, and keep a disciplined return plan.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Work the wall slowly and keep enough gas for the current-assisted return and stop.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the key features sit on a deeper current-aware reef and suit scuba better.
Snorkeling
Not a casual snorkel site; it is better for scuba than surface swimming.
