Fonualei, Tonga

About Fonualei

A reef dive. It goes down to 30 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces N: swell from the N reaches it, and wind from the S 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 July, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Neiafu, is 79 km away. Nearest airport: VAV (VAV), 73 km.
