Diving
Like in all the islands of the Fiji archipelago, Wanau-Leu is considered a paradise for lovers of submersion . And Savusavu is not an exception here . Almost the entire coastline of the city is a a number of excellent beaches, o where it is possible and necessary to dive . But they say that the best dive site here is the Drimhaus reef with an unreal variety of sponges and soft corals . Also remarkable is the two-kilometer Nasonisoni canal, where it is possible to drift lazily along the stream at a rather high speed . @ Lazy - this until you see the local barracudas .
