BEQA ISLAND
Located off
Viti Levu’s
Pacific Harbour region, the island of Beqa (pronounced
Mbengga) is a favourite for the superb dive sites around its fringing coral reef. There are many colourful corals and fish species, along with larger marine species such as dolphins, sharks, rays and turtles. Well-known dive sites include
Side Streets (soft corals and gorgonian fans),
Caesar’s Rock (coral heads and swim-throughs) and
Frigate Pass – a 48km coral wall with pelagic fish, including white-tip reef sharks. Shark-feeding dives to Beqa Lagoon also departs from Pacific Harbour, with the chance to view enormous bull and tiger sharks.

KADAVU ISLAND
Located south of Beqa, Kadavu is reputed to be one of Fiji’s most beautiful islands. Offshore, the
Astrolabe Reef – the world’s third largest - stretches its mighty coral formations along the island’s eastern coast, creating a spectacular 1800m drop-off. Massive waves crash against the reef, making an impressive sight for visitors as they journey out to the dive sites. Beneath the surface, the island’s pristine waters boast gardens of hard and soft corals, vertical walls, caves and brilliant tropical fish of every species. The area is famous for its manta ray dives and the wreck of the Pacific Explorer.

Rainbow Reef. You’ll spot plenty of colourful tropical fish, the odd shark and turtle, and even pilot whales during November.
