Where is Fiji's best diving?

Drop into the blue on the outer reef, descend to 30 metres to see the grey reef sharks, barracuda, trevally schools and other pelagics circling.  Drift along the wall until it evens to a sea bed peppered with soft coral bommies in stunning purples, pinks and yellows, teeming with fish.  Hammerhead schools frequent the site and giant tuna and spanish mackerel can often be seen.  World class diving and a must do dive in Fiji. 

An absolute MUST for photographers who will want to dive this over and over again

Instant Replay is the perfect description of just how the beauty of this iconic soft coral site hits you over and over again.  Drop in on an arc shaped reef. You'll begin by squabbling with fellow divers over two or three isolated bommies around 18 metres encrusted in sea fans, whips and filter feeding soft corals. However, as you drift along in the current you'll find the soft coral population and the storms of anthias and lyretails just become more and more intense. It's a photographer's delicious nightmare  - hard to compose as the splendour has no beginning or end.

One of the few places in the world with guaranteed tiger shark visits - some of them huge, pregnant and amazing!

Purple corner is a delightful soft coral site with deep purple and red Dendronethphya 'bushes' intertwined with black sun corals (that look green) and filled with small damselfish and anthias.  As the fish plumes emerge in current to take advantage of the passing food drift along the wall until a series of hard coral bommies .

Black Magic is a fairly large soft coral covered stack in the middle of Bligh Water.  The dive begins at 20 metres amid a lower ledge graced with gorgonians and whips as you look into the blue for sharks and turtles. Helter skeltering the sea mount on the ascent is where the magic starts.  Soft corals of every description buzz with fish as fussiliers and trevally and barracuda school in the current. The top of the bommie is covered in mushroom corals and anemones fighting for the sunlight at 5 metres - the perfect safety stop.

The world famous Great White Wall brings divers from all over the world to Fiji.  After descending through a coral encrusted tunnel filled with soldier fish from 13 metres to 24 metres the true majesty of the wall becomes apparent.  A huge white dendronepthya forest  blooms lilac in the blue of the ocean and is peppered with whips in  purples and yellows and black sun coral structures.  The most beautiful section of the wall is possibly at aorund 35 - 40 metres - making it one of the deepest dives in Fiji and its easy to descend as the drop off falls off to over 100 metres.  

The timing of the currents  is critical on this dive - without knowing when the signature white coral bushes are open and feeding you're left with a brown wall of stalks!

Frigate's Pass dive site is a hard and soft coral site on the edge of the reef at Beqa Lagoon Resort.

A gorgeous volcanic bommie carved through by the waves of Beqa Lagoon.  Perfect for wide angle photography. Currents keep the bright red gorgonians  healthy and feed the sea whips. 

3 adjacent pinnacles on the outer reef decorated in pink soft corals, sea whips and gorgonian fans. Giant hammerheads are common in the deep, trevally, tuna and ocassionally dolphins.
