Rainbow Reef is known for its marine life – manta rays, barracudas, white tip sharks, butterfly fish, stone fish, long nose hawk fish and leopard sharks have all been spotted around Rainbow Reef.

The resort was, for 25 years, the Top Dive Resort in the South Pacific. The owner of Taveuni Island Resort & Spa discovered all the sites on the Rainbow Reef and Great White Wall which are now legendary throughout the world.

We now rely on our former Dive Masters and Instructors to show visitors the wonders of this amazing underwater world. When Ric Cammick retired, his top staff members formed their own companies: Vunibokoi Divers and Jewel Bubble Divers.
