Fiji Diving

Hi there,
Being located down this end of the world, I have been to Fiji 5 times. Have snorkelled there a heap of times and only had the chance to dive there on one trip - for about 14 dives. There are a load of good dive operators all over Fiji, ranging from small operators at flashy resorts to what are essentially "Dive Islands" where the whole operation revolves around the dive centre.
Regs are no problem with any operator there that I have been involved with, and really the degree of diving "remoteness" or experience is only limited by your budget. Generally, much of the diving around Nadi area is pretty much resort style with plenty of people of all levels of experience tramping through fairly average sites. Many of the islands, by comparison, look after their sites, their staff, and their guests in such a way that you are left feeling as if it is "all about you" !! Again, cost will govern what you get. Really is worth spending a little more to get a lot more if you can.
Let me know how it goes, I'm looking forward to getting back there in the next 12 months or so.
Good luck with it all.

Cheers,

Greg
