Diving in Fiji - where to dive and where to stay
The diving in Fiji is some of the best in the world. And divers of all skill levels will enjoy the excellent diving in Fiji in Savusavu Bay. Fiji diving offers the most brilliant display of coral and the largest variety of fish of anywhere in the world.
The warm, clear waters will entice anyone into the underwater world and visibility ranges from 50 to an astonishing 100ft. The deepest turquoise blue seas are a balm for the soul.
Whether the micro world of nudibranchs and miniature shrimps is your thing or you prefer the big critters - hammerhead sharks and manta rays - diving in Savusavu Bay has something for everyone. Towers of corals, pretty swim throughs and beautiful coral walls that drop away to infinity - this place has it all. Large schools of barracuda keep some distance while the wrasses and angel fish swim in and out of the soft corals. Friendly bat fish keep a close watch on your activities, hovering around nearby.
If you are lucky enough to get a day out at Namena Marine Reserve, you are guaranteed an unforgettable experience. In this underwater wilderness there are so many fish that it is a wonder you don’t actually bump into them in the water. There is an enormous array of gorgonian fans, soft corals, bubble corals and many more, in every colour imaginable.
The names of the dive sites are enticing - Alice in Wonderland, Mystery Reef, Grand Central Station.
Savusavu Bay is also famous for Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of Jacques, who owns a five-star resort on the Fijian island of Vanua Levu. His dive schools have access to Shark Alley and Big Blue, some of the world’s most enviable dive sites.
If your own diving in Fiji budget doesn’t stretch to the five-stars of the Cousteau resort, consider staying in a more traditional style resort nearby. Daku Resort offers comfortable traditional style accommodation and offers incredible ‘dive Fiji’ opportunities at neighboring Cousteau Resort.
