Liveaboard Diving in Fiji

Fiji is a world class diving destination that caters to all ages and skill levels. From soft corals to plenty of pelagics, it’s likely you’ll find what you’re looking for. Heavy currents sweep in sharks and mantas as well as perfect visibility in places like the Gau and Wakaya Islands. On the other hand, protected bays and coral beds give habitat to an abundance of macro species in Namena and the Bligh Waters. Leaf fish, ribbon eels and a variety of reef fish are common logbook entries. As with most South Pacific islands, Fiji features a large diversity of underwater environments. You’ll encounter high-speed drifts, coral beds with lots of bommies, walls and pinnacles. Beqa Lagoon is a world famous shark dive site, but you’ll also want to visit Shark Reef and the Coral Coast. While there are plenty of sites for pelagic lovers and underwater photographers, wreck divers may wish to look elsewhere for their next liveaboard diving vacation. There aren’t many sunken ships on Fiji dive safari routes. Because of the wide variety of dive sites available, liveaboards in Fiji only require an Open Water certification, but an Advanced certification and at least 10 dives is preferable. Do check with your specific operator for certification requirements.
