Naiqoro Passage is one of the most significant dive sites in the Great Astrolabe Reef (Fiji). It is a kind of a narrow channel that is a swim-through with serious currents. The site has soft and hard corals that create a carpet on the tunnel’s floor and walls. The color palette would impress even the most exacting painters, not only divers.
