Fiji Dive Resorts

Staying at a great Fiji dive resort is an extrodoary experience and you are not short of places to go. Drift diving is very popular for Fiji dive trips.

Expect enormous amounts of water flow in and out of the channels as the tide rises and falls. Drift diving in Fiji is the way to go if you are a seasoned scuba diver, you can enjoy the sights and let the current do all the work during your Fiji dive vacation.

If you don’t think you have what it takes to tackle the currents fear not. Several Fiji dive resorts are there to help. There are just as many places for beginners when you scuba dive Fiji as there are for seasoned veterans. (continued below)

Fiji Scuba Diving in Vanua Levu
This is Fiji’s second largest Island with several untouched sites for those wishing to venture off from their Fiji diving resort. There is a lot of great Fiji dive resorts around Savusavu Bay which has great underwater scenery and a diverse fish population. Experienced divers looking for a good drift dive head toward Nasonisoni Passage. Here you can expect to find a fast drift dive through a narrow current swept channel. Dreadlocks is a great place to check out tiny underwater critters and can appeal to all skill levels for. Another heroic Fiji dive spot is Barracuda Point and yes, as the name implies you are likely to spot schools of barracudas around 25 meters.

Fiji Scuba Diving In Taveuni
Rain forests, waterfalls and all things tropic. Taveuni is often called the garden island for obvious reasons and you can expect the same thing underwater. The Somosomo Strait has achieved Shangri-la status in the diving community from the narrow stretch of ocean that is funneled between Taveuni and Vanua. This Fiji scuba dive area is dubbed rainbow reef and you can expect to find lots of vertical walls. At the beginning of Somosomo Strait you will find one of Fiji’s signature dives called the great white wall. Here you find an incredible wall and drift dive with lots of white coral (kinda lavender) that resembles a snow caped ski slope. Not far from here you will hit Rainbow Passage with features like large reefs and marine life in every color of the rainbow. This is truely a great place to check in to many Fiji dive resorts.

Drift dives are some of the best diving in Fiji and a great experience and the sights are usually a bit more exotic since the currents brig life to the coral from channeling nutrients their way. Most of the Fiji diving resorts keep a close eye on inexperianced divers. When the current flows the corals bloom into their beauty. Drift dives in Fiji usually take place along a large stretch of ocean and a boat follows the divers progression and bubbles. If you have the experience it might not be a bad idea to embark on a drift dive when you are staying at a Fiji dive resort
