Pink, red and yellow corals on the Rainbow reef

Waterlust Fiji has dived many times on Rainbow Reef and firmly believes the best diving is achieved by paying close attention to expert advice on the timing of the currents.  Most of the dives are soft coral drift dives and if the current is not running the corals are not in bloom, the fish are not feeding and the experience will be boring.   Viani Bay is a recommended operator who dives the 30 sites of the Rainbow Reef according to the currents to get the most for their divers.

  • Sustainability -  The property is designed to reduce the need for air conditioning, unnecessary refrigeration and power consumption in general.  You will not see any single use plastic. The water is delivered by a tapped Fiji stream rather than desalination and the resort was one of the first PADI eco dive centres in Fiji.


  • First Padi Eco Centre in Fiji - The owners of Sau Bay have even adopted the Great White Wall dive site and are very active in marine conservation.


  • Hiking and affinity to nature - farm to food fresh cuisine served by a talented chef


  • Sau Bay divers operate their diving according to the current flow on Rainbow Reef.  This is absolutely critical for soft coral dives such as the Great White Wall, Jerry's Jelly,  Annies Bommie and many more.   Soft corals are a colony of  polyp cnidarians which contract into the flexible skeleton when the current is not flowing - so timing is everything.  When the corals are feeding the beauty of the reef is spell bounding. 


  • The position of the resort means the dive boats are able to get to Rainbow reef even when the wind is strong so they are not limited to diving in areas shielded by land.


  • The ratio of dive guides to divers is very high - which makes it a perfect resort for new divers and those requiring a little extra assistance

A charming eco-resort

Sau Bay works hard to reduce its impact on the environment. Nestled in the heart of a tropical bay the resort has been designed to avoid the use of airconditioning, unnecessary refridgeration, water usage (by avoiding desalination procedures) and by focusing on home grown fruit and vegetables.


First Padi Eco Centre in Fiji - The owners of Sau Bay have even adopted the Great White Wall dive site and are very active in marine conservation.
