TUFI REEFS

This little explored string of reefs and bommies lies 5-10 nautical miles offshore. Expect 100' visibility, 78-84 degree water, and abundant marine life. Schooling barracuda, reef fish, sharks and critters are practically guaranteed. Here are a few of the established dive sites...

TUFI WHARF
30 ft
Located right at the jetty in front of the dive shop, Tufi Dive Resort's "house reef" offers some excellent muck diving. Look for gobies, nudibranchs, mandarin fish, ghost and banded pipefish, and more mixed in with machinery and Coca-Cola bottles from WWII. Excellent night dive!

PAUL'S REEF
Enjoy many colorful soft corals, large staghorn corals, anemones hosting a variety of clown fishes, and schools of trevally & barracuda.

CYCLONE WALL
This vertical wall starts at about 20 ft, plummets to 120 ft, and then slopes off into the abyss. Colorful lichens and hard & soft corals cover the wall. Careful examination will reveal nudibranchs of varying sizes and colors.

VEALE'S REEF
This steep wall is frequented by hammerhead sharks, dogtooth tuna, Spanish mackerel, reef sharks and other pelagics. The top of the reef is covered with staghorn and plate corals, as well as schools of small fish and giant sponges. Excellent drift dive.

STEWART'S REEF
This is the closest coral reef to Tufi Dive Resort. Excellent hard corals, soft corals, sea whips and fans attract a healthy fish population. You'll encounter schools of Spanish mackerel, barracuda, and trevally along with the usual reef suspects. Expect to see epaulette sharks, decorator crabs, octopus and moray eels if you visit this site at night.
