Easy coral wall with swim-throughs in Rakiraki.
Colleen’s Garden is an easy, color-rich wall dive in Rakiraki with a shallow reef top that rolls into a deeper wall, plus swim-throughs and crevices to explore at a relaxed pace. Hard coral, sea fans, and whip coral dominate the structure, while the reef life leans strongly to macro finds and mixed fish activity. It suits unhurried scuba dives and confident snorkelers on calm days.
