About Fantastic
Fantastic is a Bligh Water pinnacle in the Vatu-i-Ra and Rakiraki dive corridor. The reef starts shallow and falls away to a deeper coral slope, with large sea fans, golden soft corals, and dense tropical fish life. It is best treated as a guided boat dive that rewards tidy buoyancy, a calm ascent, and attention to tide timing.
