Voli Voli vs Kadavu

[Joneill]

I'm going to Paradise Taveuni from Aug 19-31 and was thinking about extending until the 4th to get in some more diving in a different area of Fiji while I'm all the way out there.

Any recommendations on Voli Voli (do you dive the Bligh Waters?) vs Kadavu (Great Astrolabe Reef).

How different is the diving at these locations and how does it compare to Taveuni? Voli Voli is probably logistically easier as I already have to fly back to Nadi to head home from Taveuni - so no extra flights involved.

Any thoughts from those who've dived/stayed at these other sites is much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks - good to hear! Did you dive any place else in Fiji as well?

No , just the ten days at Voli Voli , the Bligh Waters were the highlight for sure .

I strongly recommend getting a reef rod if you do not have one , some of the most amazing scenes were on the safety stops on top of the pinnacles , the surge really throws you around so you find a spot in the reef to insert your rod and you can stop and smell the roses , I ended up buying one at the resort because before Fiji I thought they were just for pointing …

Voli Voli is nice indeed, good recommendation. Did some good diving off Matangi Island (short boat ride from Taveuni).
In addition, I also dove with Beqa Adventure Divers in the Pacific Harbour (it was a shark dive but currents were way too strong).
