Vatu Express
About Vatu Express
Vatu Express is a drift dive best timed for an incoming tide that runs east to west. The dive begins around 5 m and drops down to about 36 m, suiting a multilevel profile, with a ridge connecting to the main reef around 18 m. Divers ride the current along a soft-coral wall and can spot pelagic life out in the blue, while the reef also offers strong macro interest.
