Leeward Fiji bommie reef with mixed coral.
Underwater Phantasea is a leeward Fiji reef built around small bommies and mixed reef structure. Soft and hard coral cover the site, and the layout keeps it comfortable for a wide range of divers. It works best when the tide is running out and the sea is settled, with plenty of texture around the coral edges and rock crevices.
