The Rock

The Rock is ranked second on the list of the best places for scuba diving in Samoa. This diving spot, located on Upolu, is a stunning dive destination known for its hard coral and gigantic clams in Samoa. The plateau drops between 12 and 18 meters, and visibility is often excellent. Lionfish, lobsters, and shrimp can be found beneath the coral tables and in the reef caves, as well as the bigger marine species associated with longer dives.

This location is also well known for the huge deep-sea fish schools of napoleon, barracuda, and tuna, as well as trevally and wrasse, as well as the frequently occurring green turtles relaxing in the calm swells of the Samoan waters. It is not uncommon to observe a variety of rays and sharks sharing the waters with you as you progress deeper; eagles, stingrays, white tip, and grey reef sharks are typical sightings.
