Easily one of the best places in the world to escape to underneath the waves, your Fijian adventure<br />
awaits.<br />
What to Expect<br />
The famously clear waters make for excellent visibility,<br />
and the average water temperature sticks to 26°C yearround,<br />
so the waters are perfect for diving.<br />
What You’ll See<br />
Famous for being “The Soft Coral Capital of the World”, you<br />
can dive in some spectacular spots off Fiji’s main islands<br />
or small islets. The best diving spots are Rainbow Reef,<br />
with it’s magical “Great White Wall”, Yellow Tunnel, Beqa<br />
Lagoon, and the countless other reefs and habitats that<br />
make the nation a diving wonderland.<br />
You might well encounter some of the South Pacific<br />
Ocean’s great inhabitants as well. Humpback whales,<br />
tiger sharks, manta rays, sea turtles, and a whole rainbow<br />
explosion of tropical fish call the waters around Fiji home.<br />
Best Time of Year to Dive<br />
Because the water temperatures are so stable, you can<br />
dive in Fiji all year round. However, the best times to go<br />
down are during the Fijian winter, between April and<br />
October. The waters are a little cooler which leads to the<br />
best possible visibility.<br />
Is it Safe?<br />
One of the things that makes Fiji such a great place to<br />
dive is that the sites are generally safe for novice divers.<br />
It’s essential that you get your PADI certificate before you<br />
even think about SCUBA diving, but if you don’t fancy that<br />
then you can always learn to snorkel and enjoy the water<br />
that way.<br />
