About Mani’s Reef
Mani's Reef is a boat-access Sailstone Reef site off Rakiraki in Fiji's Bligh Water, with healthy coral heads, swim-throughs, and a lively multi-level profile. The reef starts shallow, then opens into richer structure, so it suits divers who like a calm briefing, a steady descent, and a site that rewards good tide timing and slow buoyant movement.

Scuba Diving
A boat-based coral-head reef with swim-throughs and overhangs that rewards slow multi-level diving and good tide timing.
