They are surrounded by nutrient rich water that is teeming with an abundance of marine life, big and small. Pinnacles, walls, reefs, bommies, caverns, and coral gardens showcase nature at its finest. Being a hotseat of WWII activity, it also has more than its fair share of wrecks to explore.

Lagoon was a centre of wartime activity. The heritage
it left, buried under the sea, has become a haven
for coral and fish life. It is a maze of military
wrecks waiting to be explored.

Tonga
Captain Cook dubbed Tonga ‘the friendly isles’ and the name has stuck for good reason. The warmth and friendliness of the locals will leave you with memories for a lifetime. Tonga is the only South Pacific country never to have been colonised, giving it a true island feeling.
Tonga was the first Pacific Island nation to set up marine parks and sanctuaries and is reliant for survival on the sustainable management of its natural environment. Marine life has thrived under Tonga’s protection, offering a diver’s wonderland. Diving is varied, ranging from shipwrecks to limestone caves, and from walls to coral reefs. But perhaps the best feature is just how much you can see with exceptional water clarity and visibility of at least 30-40 metres.
