where to dive in fiji?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

want to do my advanced open water in fiji but so many options! want to fly from brisbane, have enough time to do the course and dives and a couple of days afterwards to chill before flying home. where should i go? and any particular dive companies/resorts recommended?

cheers :)

We would recommend Ray and Dave at Matamanoa Island Resort in the Mamanuca's.
The resort is currently undergoing a makeover but will be open for limited bookings in about a month and fully operational again in Feb next year.
We have been there twice this year.
My wife did her Rescue diver course there and everyone we have spoken to has been pleased with the dive training they received.

the same dive co has offices on about 24 different islands, so the course and prices likely be the same, so just pick a nice resort to base yourself on im thinking

Viti Watersports are only at four resorts, but the operators are all different and some are no doubt better than others.
Resort prices will vary but the dive prices will be fairly constant.
