About Garden of Eden
Garden of Eden is a Rakiraki, Fiji Bligh Waters wall dive reached by boat from the Suncoast, with a shallow reef top, crevices, sea fans, and soft coral that keep the profile interesting from the first drop-in to the lower wall. It can be run as a relaxed static dive or as a drift dive when the tide and current line up, so the best plan is to match the day’s sea state to the entry and exit you want.
