Sea Fan City is a Kuata wall dive in Fiji's Yasawa Islands, with a coral wall draped in sea fans and soft corals, a shallow garden near the top, and a long driftable line for divers who want to keep exploring. The site is a good fit for buoyancy-conscious scuba divers who like colorful coral structure and the chance of pygmy seahorses in the fans.

Safety Notes
Stay clear of the sea fans, keep buoyancy tight on the wall, and let the guide set the pace as the reef opens and closes around the drift line.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only from Kuata, with the site typically reached in about ten minutes.
Legal Notes
Respect the sea fans and soft corals, and follow the resort dive plan so you stay on the reef line rather than brushing the wall.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Great for buoyancy practice and wall drifting, with the best stuff above 20 meters.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the wall and sea fans are best explored on scuba.
Snorkeling
The shallow garden may be visible in calm water, but this is fundamentally a scuba wall dive.
