Dive into Fiji
WHY Fiji ?- The allure below the waves
Fiji's nickname, the 'Soft Coral Capital of the World', is no exaggeration. The nutrient rich currents fuel explosions of colour, where soft corals in electric pinks, oranges and purples sway like underwater fireworks. But its not just the corals - Fiji's waters teem with life, from schools of tropical fish to majestic pelagics. Add to this year-round diving conditions of water temperatures (25°-29°C) and visibility exceeding 30 metres, and you've got a diver's paradise.
Fiji offers world renowned pelagic encounters with exhilarating shark dives - with over 8 species of these noble predators regularly seen - including tiger and bull sharks. Manta rays, dolpins and pilot whales are often seen and in season (between July to October) humpback whales visit Fiji's tropical seas.
