Nabaibai Passage
Nabaibai Passage is a boat cave dive between reefs on Fiji's Coral Coast.
Local operator required
A local guide is the right way to run the site because of the overhead sections and boat access.
Plan Nabaibai Passage as an advanced boat dive with overhead sections, torch light and a deeper main profile rather than a simple reef cruise.
About Nabaibai Passage
Nabaibai Passage is a boat-accessed cave dive between two reefs on Fiji's Coral Coast. Torch-lit passages and two caves make it feel like an overhead adventure rather than an open reef cruise, and the site is better suited to experienced divers who are comfortable with tighter navigation and changing light. Marine life around the passage includes moray eels, groupers, snappers, parrotfish, sea snakes and reef-shark visitors.
