Fiji Diving
Pristine coral reefs with marine life thriving in the clear waters of the South Pacific ocean make Fiji diving popular with scuba divers the world over. There are many beautiful dive sites to be found in the Fiji Islands and the most famous are the Rainbow Reef and the Great Astrolabe Reef. Excellent scubadiving is also found in many other parts of the Fijian archipelago, with colourful reef fish, pelagics, sharks, rays and turtles as well as corals. Fiji is often called the soft coral capital of the world, and with good reason.
The Rainbow Reef is located in the northern region of Fiji between the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni. Clear ocean currents channelling through the Somosomo Strait between the two islands ensures a good flow of nutrients. These rich waters stimulate the growth of many beautiful soft corals, as well as schools of pretty reef fish, large pelagics and shark. At certain times of the year, migrating whales pass through the Strait and provide divers with the opportunity to witness these magnificent marine creatures.
The Great Astrolabe Reef is located close to the eastern tip of Kadavu in Fiji's south. Much larger than the Rainbow Reef, this has created a second underwater paradise that has also contributed to this important tourist activity. Other excellent scuba adventures can be found in the Lomaiviti (central Fiji) waters. These dive sites are more remotely separated so the best way to experience them is by way of a dive liveaboard operator. Resorts in this region include the exclusive Wakaya Club, as well as the eco-tourist destination of Namenalala, also known as Moody's Namena. The island of Ovalau also has operators offering dive trips in this region.
Beqa Lagoon - another Southern Fiji underwater paradise is found to the west of Kadavu. Here can be found the famous shark dive trips, where divers can sit on the sea-bed and watch local divers feeding large and beautiful sharks. Wreck diving in Fiji is not as common as in, say, Vanuatu or Solomon Islands. However, there are a few wreck sites, including one in the Beqa Lagoon.
