About Blue Ribbon Eel Reef

A reef dive. It goes down to 16 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Open Water divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SW: swell from the SW reaches it, and wind from the NE blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). For Advanced divers the best months are usually January, February, March and April, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Suva, is 210 km away. Nearest airport: LBS (LBS), 69 km. Within 5 km we also list 4 dive sites.
