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.

Main reef wall with a shallow top and a 30m drop-off; best treated as a drift or slack-tide wall dive.
