In Depth

Diving holidays in Fiji should be tailored around what a diver is looking for, as there is so much to experience in this vibrant island nation. A trip to the Somosomo Strait in Taveuni should not be missed, as the heart of the soft coral capital of the world. Rainbow Reef is a once in a lifetime dive wher walls of kaleidoscopic corals greet divers. The famous Great White Wall is one of the country’s best dive sites with vast carpets of swaying white soft corals making for an excellent photo subject. Namena Reserve is the largest no-take zone in Fiji, and this conservation in Vanua Levu has led to a proliferation of marine life with impressive biodiversity. Here larger cetaceans such as humpbacks and spinner dolphins can be spotted, and manta rays are frequent visitors.

At Beqa Lagoon, divers can get up close with tiger sharks, bull sharks, lemon sharks and nurse sharks for one of the best shark diving experiences in the world. A visit to Kadavu means diving the Great Astrolabe Reef, the fourth largest barrier reef in the world, where mantas can be seen. The diving in Fiji is varied, colourful and exciting, and suitable for divers of all levels, making this a great summer holiday destination when the weather and conditions are at their best.

Beyond the Reef

Aside from visiting Fiji’s best dive sites, there is plenty to enjoy topside too. Hikes through lush forests, surrounded by a cacophony of birdsong, come to a crescendo at hidden waterfalls. Shallow reefs can be snorkelled at ease, or cruised over in a kayak or stand up paddleboard. Traditional kava ceremonies can be enjoyed by visitors for an insight into local culture and history. Rugby is a pseudo-religion in Fiji, so kids will love bringing a ball along and getting involved with a local game. The natural beauty of Fiji and the warmth of their people is reason enough to visit!
