About Redemption
Redemption is a boat-access Fiji pinnacle that rises to a shallow top and connects by a ridge to the main reef, creating a multi-level dive with soft coral, hard coral, and dense fish life. It is best for divers who like tide-aware reef diving, patient reef scanning, and the chance of shark encounters rather than a flat or casual swim-through.
