Scuba diving on Rainbow Reef

Pink soft corals with small fish schools on the Rainbow reef in Fiji
The turquoise and greens of the shallow coral reef in Viani Bay in Fiji

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.

  • World famous Rainbow Reef has over 30 dive sites with the most famous of them all being the Great White Wall.  Dive Academy is a great place to improve your diving skills as with just 4 divers on the boat, the team can be very attentive to your needs.


  • They return to their beach for you to take your surface interval on shore rather than to bob around on the ocean.  There is always freshly brewed coffee, lemon leaf tea, homemade cake and fruit provided for you. Great if you need to get new batteries or check your camera.


  • Other activities available at this resort for nominal fees include:


  1. Manta excursions with a beach picnic when in season
  2. Free diving courses
  3. A range of PADI courses to increase your skills
  4. Spearfishing with a beach BBQ
  5. Horse back riding on the beach
  6. Game fishing
