Fiji Scuba Diving
Have you always dreamed about swimming with the dolphins? Well, planning a Fiji scuba trip will bring you one step closer to those (and many other) magical creatures.
Fiji is home to more than 1200 types of fish, over 12 species of whales and dolphins, and tons of beautiful coral specimens. Those that opt for a Fiji scuba vacation will love the Fiji archipelago, which happens to be enclosed by a large reef. The waters within this area are protected allowing divers to explore lagoons, large drop offs, and lots of great dive sites freely. If you happen to stay at a resort within this area, you will find that accessing the archipelago is quite easy to do.
Since Fiji is a tropical paradise, you can expect to find sublime warm waters throughout the year. In addition to warm waters, you will also discover that visibility is extremely clear. Though some areas can fall prey to some heavy winds, those that head out into the sea during the morning hours will find that they have the best diving conditions. If you are concerned about finding a good dive shop while on vacation, you should be comforted by the fact that most resorts offer their own private diving excursions. Then again, there are some outfits that are less than legal, so make sure to ask for credentials.
Areas worth exploring include the Mamanuca Islands, the Southern Islands, the Northern Islands, and the Lomaiviti Group. Any one of these locations is bound to please those seeking lots of great dives and an abundance of marine life. Almost everyone that dives within Fiji has the opportunity to view many different creatures that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world… don’t miss this chance. Even if you have never been on a dive before, Fiji scuba diving is great for beginners as well as those advanced divers. To find a resort catering to beginners, make sure to check with the hotel management.
Most dive shops will give beginner dive classes to those that are interested. The only thing that you have to think about is whether or not the dive shop that you choose is credible. Once you find a great shop, book your first dive right away – you won’t be disappointed.
Dolphins, whales, fish, beautiful coral reefs – what else could you ask for? A Fiji scuba vacation is not something that will easily be forgotten, so why not book one now?
