About Aquarium
Aquarium is a deep Fiji boat dive with ridges and vertical walls over a sandy bottom near Natadola Beach. It is more about the overall dive and the marine encounters than coral coverage, with sharks, turtles, rays, and tropical fish concentrated in the shallower area. Strong current or waves can make the water access harder, so the best day is a calm one with a good boat window.
