Dive-site story
Located along the barrier reef of Fiji's Coral Coast, Cannibal Canyon features a dramatic deep sand-bottom ravine carved directly into the outer reef wall. Divers explore vertical rock faces lined with sea fans before weaving through narrow overhangs and swim-through channels where whitetip reef sharks frequently rest.
