Where to Dive in Fiji

ever you go, the local hotel will take you to the best spot not very too far away. There are four distinct regions for excellent world class diving. Choosing where to go might well depend on whether you want diving alone, or to dive as well as experience the other wonders of Fiji. The islands in the Mamanuca and Yasawa Group, for example, are more archetypically south pacific being small islands with white sandy beaches, lagoons and palm trees but being closer to the International Airport has the advantages or disadvantages of more commercial tourism. The Northern Islands has an excellent ecotourist infrastructure with public transport, a few independent restaurants and excellent rainforested National Parks with managed trails. The Southern Islands and Lomaiviti Group are more remote and offer the true Fijian experience cut off from the outside world.
