Fiji offers some of the best diving in the world with its clear blue waters peppered with world class soft coral bommies, hard coral walls, sharks, manta rays and other pelagics. The white sand beaches are picture perfect and the Fijian people are graced with a magic second to none.  Lush green jungle meets azure bays around our archipelago.  Fiji is the perfect place to book a dive vacation.


Fiji has several scuba dive resorts which have been built by divers and with divers in mind.  They are all uncrowded beach front resorts, often with bars by the beach in the sand, with beachfront spas, dining and ocean views.   They have access to the best of Fiji's diving, professional and fully equipped dive centres, all the local knowledge of weather conditions, currents and the best diving sites.  Some have nitrox compressors which can be handy if you find repeated dives make you tired.  Most dives in Fiji are not deeper than 25 metres and our reef systems often mean dive profiles lend themselves to ample time spent in shallow water and safety stops on vibrant fishy hard coral bommie tops. 5 metre safety stops are also fantastic for a snorkel between dives.


Adding a few days of shark diving in Beqa Lagoon  is highly recommended as Fiji is one of the few places on earth where you can dive safely in clear waters with  tiger  and bull sharks.  We highly recommend adding a shark dive extension to your Fiji scuba dive holiday


Waterlust dive travel  is based in Fiji so we can offer some of the fastest confirmations with dive resorts - all of which we know personally!  We can accept all major currencies and can price match if you see your trip cheaper elsewhere.

Spa and Wellness Bures

  • Rejuvenate between dives
  • Oceanfront spa treatments
  • Traditional island treatments

Relax and rejuvenate between world class dives! 


Listen to the gentle lapping of the waves and feel your tension dissipate into the magic of the white sand and blue ocean back drop. All of our Fiji dive resorts offer ocean front treatment spas. The Fijian people are renowned for their natural desire to please you with soothing massages.  Our spas use products carefully created from tropical ingredients such as cold-pressed coconut oils and flower essences.  Enjoy island specialities such as banana leaf body wraps, passion fruit scrubs and seaweed  exfoliation.

Fijian Cuisine

Fijian cuisine is a vibrant fusion of tropical flavours characterised by our island's fecundity. Fresh, locally sourced fruits, vegetables, meats and fish will be infused by our talented chefs with herbs and spices producing  diverse and delicious meals.


Fijian flavours focus heavily on coconut milk, fish and local fish with dishes, like the unmissable kokoda (pronounced kokonda) then spiced with lime, coriander and chillies.  Starchy root vegetables such as  taro and cassava are often used as side dishes.  The Indian Fijian influence has also contributed a delicious range of curries and chutneys.


Our all inclusive meal plans - all of which include 7 courses per day  focus on uniquely Fijian interpretations of western dishes blended into South Pacific island style.

Veggie, vegan and gluten free options are always available

Fijian Culture

  • Cultural performances
  • Village visits
  • Traditional war dances
  • Kava ceremonies

Expect a range of cultural performances after dinners - the Fijian people love to sing and you will be serenaded with ukelele playing, choirs. Mekes (a traditional Fijian story telling and war dance), fire dancing and a range of other entertainments are usually provided - usually combined with a 'lovo' - the traditional feast in which meat, fish and vegetables are cooked in the ground slowly producing sublime and succulent flavours.


The resorts we have chosen also offer  village visits, trips to meet children at local schools, market tours and of course, kava ceremonies.  Our mildly intoxicating root is ground and used all over Fiji to welcome visitors to our lands. To some it may be an acquired taste!


Tipping - yes or no?  Fijians are a familiy and community orientated people and they feel awkward to be given something individually plus there are people behind the scenes who you won;t encounter who are pivotal in making your stay fabulous.  There will be a staff Christmas Fund box for your tips.


Bull sharks swimming in Beqa Lagoon on a 'soft corals and sharks' dive package to Fiji

Warning.

Scuba diving...

with Fiji's sharks...

is....

seriously...

addictive.

View 8 different species of shark

Silver tips

20 + bull sharks on each dive

grinning lemon sharks

enormous female tiger sharks

5 reasons to do the Fiji shark dive extension

  • 8 shark species - including tigers & bulls
  • Support Fiji's sustainable shark tourism
  • See incredible hand feeders in action
  • The Fiji shark dive is one of the few places in the world where you can dive with up to 8 species of sharks.  The bull sharks are the star  of the show and (except in November when they disappear to give birth)  you will see over 20+ of these bulky requiem sharks.  Other species often seen are lemon sharks, tawny nurse sharks, silver tips. grey reef sharks and occasionally tigers.


  • Sharks all over the world are under extreme ecological pressure from overfishing, bycatch, finning and habitat destruction.  In Fiji Beqa Lagoon shark diving has produced an economic advantage to the local villages who own the reefs, in protecting these sharks  as they are worth more alive as an attraction to divers who pay a nominal marine park conservation fee to our Turaga -  local village chiefs.


  • The shark diving is a perfect way to removing any fear of sharks you may have.  We all grew up with the horror film 'Jaws' looming in our popular culture.  By diving with these graceful apex predators a new understanding and appreciation of their critical role in our ocean can be achieved.


  • Hand feeding is an amazing spectacle to see and even better to photograph.  Shark photographers from around the world are drawn to the Fiji shark feed to capture the immense jaws of a bull or tiger open and snatch a tuna head from the local, incredibly skilled, hand feeders.   


  • Beqa Lagoon, on the south side of Fiji's main island, Viti Levu, is a convenient location to get to - just an hour from Suva, the capital city and and a 3 hour scenic drive from Nadi International airport.  Pacific Harbour, the disembarkment point for the shark dives, has resort options for all budgets and transfers are cheap and easy.   Expect to pay around US$220 for a 2 tank shark dive.   

Can I dive in Fiji on a budget?

Waterlust provides you with the country's finest dive resorts, where, between dives,  you can relax by the pool, pamper yourself at the spa before delighting in fine dining under the stars.
However, we have also dedicated time to use our local knowledge on how you can dive Fiji on a budget and we've bundled air bnbs, lower price hotels and a range of tried and tested Fijian homestays with dive packages on the best of Fiji's coral reefs. 

We have indicated where you can take local buses rather than hotel transfers and can advise on ferry schedules (long and unreliable but its possible to save hundreds of dollars on inter-island flights).

Fiji can be expensive, especially when you consider the distance to our remote little rock in the middle of the South Pacific.  Everyone's budget is different and if there is a way to get you to our underwater paradise we will.
