  • Exceptional Dive Sites: Fiji boasts over 330 islands, with dive sites suitable for all skill levels. Famous spots like the Great Astrolabe Reef and the Rainbow Reef feature dramatic drop-offs and swirling currents that host a vivid display of marine biodiversity.
  • Soft Coral Gardens: The nutrient-rich waters of the Koro Sea provide the perfect conditions for soft corals to thrive. Divers can swim through lush landscapes of orange, pink, and purple corals, making for an enchanting underwater spectacle.
  • Diverse Marine Life: Fiji's waters are teeming with life. Divers can encounter everything from small, colorful reef fish to larger pelagic species. Highlights include manta rays, several species of sharks, and large schools of barracuda and tuna.
