Geographically there are so many islands that you have to decide whether you wish to travel to see the best diving Fiji has to offer.
If you stay in Taveuni, you will be able to see the soft coral splendour of the Somosomo Strait, and Kadavu Island is the place to go to get away from it all and explore the Great Astrolabe Reef. Then there is Beqa Lagoon – one of the most popular Fiji dive destinations.
You can expect pinnacles, plenty of soft corals and even wreck dives. You can also find the Shark Reef
in Beqa and innocuous hard coral reef just offshore at Pacific Harbour, along the south coast of Fiji’s
main island, Viti Levu.
The dive season is all year round. April to October is the main season for diving in Fiji in terms of diver numbers, although the visibility tends to peak between the months of July and December when the water is cooler (sometimes as cool as 22C). November to April are in fact Fiji’s summertime and when the seas are at their warmest – around 30C.
