Pot Luck: current-rich Fiji wall with soft coral

Boat-accessed reef point with a shallow top, drift options, and a colorful wall that rewards timing and good buoyancy.
About Rolland
Pot Luck is a current-rich Fiji reef point with a top that sits very close to the surface and can sit exposed at low tide. The site can run as a drift dive on the tide or as a stationary dive when the timing is right, and the wall is covered in soft coral, sea fans, and reef life that make the whole reef feel busy and alive.
