Fiji

January 14-24, 2024

Fiji is the ‘Soft Coral Capital of the World’ as quoted by Jean-Michael Cousteau. Three hundred and ninety species of soft and hard corals plus over 1200 fish species have created what may be the most colorful reefs in the world. An underwater topography that has caverns, canyons, swim-through, incredible wall dives, and frequent shark encounters entices divers from the palm lined beaches of white sand. Fiji is the perfect pacific island getaway.


Trip Details:

Shark Marine Reserve and Taveuni Island: 

On this trip we are headed to the Shark Marine Reserve for 2 days of exhilarating shark diving south of Pacific Harbor (north of Beqa Lagoon). The area is famous for its bull sharks and the occasional tiger. Divers are required to pay a levy ($25FJ), which goes back to the local village in exchange for them not fishing in the area. This has allowed marine life to thrive and shark numbers to replenish.  


Taveuni Island, northeast of Viti Levu is the soft coral capital of the world with amazing dive sites such as Rainbow Reef, the Great White Wall and other locations nearby. The Rainbow Reef is a 32km reef in the Somosomo Strait between the islands of Tavenui and Vanau Levu. It is a famous dive site.
