Diving in Ha'apai

"A highlight of the diving in Ha'apai is the geography of the reefs themselves. There are caves, canyons, caverns and tunnels to explore on just about every dive with probably many more yet to be discovered." Glenn Edney

Diving in Ha'apai stands for pure, clear water. Normal visibility is between 30 and 40 metres but can sometimes be more. Temperatures range from 23-24 degrees in the winter to 28 degrees in the summer. Many of the dive sites are within the shelter of the islands and barrier reef but there are also a number of dives that are in more open water providing opportunities for pelagic animal encounters including sharks, tuna, trevally and barracuda etc. Turtles are encountered on many dives as well as eagle rays, sea snakes and myriad tropical reef fish.

A highlight of the diving in Ha'apai is the geography of the reefs themselves. There are caves, canyons, caverns and tunnels to explore on just about every dive with probably many more yet to be discovered. There are also vertical walls, fast flowing passes and colourful coral gardens. Hard corals dominate the reefs but there are also gorgonian fans and soft corals to be found. From July to October humpback whales pass through the Ha'apai group. They are often spotted from the boat, and the very lucky will possibly observe them during a dive.
