Exploring the Great Sea Reef: Vorovoro's Underwater Wonderland


Did you know that in Vorovoro’s backyard lies some of the most diverse and amazing diving and snorkeling places in the entire world? The Great Sea Reef, locally known as The Cakaulevu Reef, is a hidden treasure waiting to be explored by adventurous souls seeking unparalleled underwater experiences.


Stretching as the third-longest contiguous barrier reef globally, the Great Sea Reef boasts an expanse of uncharted territory, with around 95% of its underwater world remaining largely unexplored. This makes it an ideal destination for avid scuba divers and snorkelers looking to dive into unspoiled waters teeming with marine life. 


But the Great Sea Reef is more than just a playground for underwater enthusiasts—it's a lifeline for over 70,000 people who depend on it for their livelihoods. From providing sustenance through fishing to supporting tourism activities, this majestic reef is integral to the social and economic fabric of the surrounding communities.



However, the Great Sea Reef is not without its challenges. As home to 12 threatened species, such as the green turtle, it faces ongoing threats from climate change, overfishing, and habitat destruction. 


Yet, amidst these challenges, there are local heroes like Leone Vokai, a legendary dive master and environmental advocate, leading the charge in reef conservation efforts.


Leone, a native of nearby Mali Island, grew up free-diving the waters of the Great Sea Reef and has dedicated his life to protecting its fragile ecosystem. As a passionate advocate for reef health and conservation, Leone educates visitors and locals alike on the importance of preserving this natural wonder.



With Leone's expert guidance, visitors to Vorovoro have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the wonders of the Great Sea Reef. Whether embarking on stunning guided dives or pursuing PADI certification courses, guests can discover the beauty and diversity of this endangered and pristine underwater paradise.


Join us on Vorovoro Island and dive into the secrets of the Great Sea Reef with Leone Vokai and the Great Sea Reef Divers!
