Fiji diving sites accessible from Barefoot Manta Island Resort Fiji, here are 4 of over 40 sites
In February of 2016, two Chinese longline fishing vessels were sitting in Suva harbour waiting to be demolished and turned into scrap and debris. What better way to recycle fishing vessels than to turn them into artificial reefs? The longliners were brought to the Naviti Island region in the Yasawas where they were scuttled.
One of the ships, named Glory, sits just a 10-minute boat ride south of Barefoot Manta Island Resort Fiji with a maximum depth of 24m, while the other ship, named Navigator, sits 10 minutes to the west of Barefoot Manta Island Resort Fiji at a maximum depth of 32 m. Since the sinking in 2016, both fish and coral life have been calling these ships home.
While the Navigator shipwreck is more for the advanced diver (or divers doing their advanced course) because of the depth, Glory shipwreck is suitable for all levels of diving and divers.
