Hi, The article link is no longer valid and I can't find anything similar on DAN's website. Do you have a copy or know of a similar article as I have a student diver who has had a triple bypass 3 years ago and is looking for information, as well as a medical of course. Many thanks in advance...

Bula, Fiji is great for beginners. Your choice of resort will be guided bu budget and what other activities you are interested in. The Yasawa and Mamanuca islands are beautiful with good diving, but not the best in Fiji. They are also, well, islands so other than a bit of cultural stuff, you are...

Hi. I think I replied to you on FB, but contact Viti Water Sports in Nadi (They are also a Bauer dealer). You will get cheaper prices if you buy online or in Australia / NZ / US etc, but if you need to buy here, then talk to Mike. I rent out gear if you didn't want to own it. Greg

Bula! Well if you want the diving to be Wow, as opposed to quite good, Look at Beqa Lagoon Resort (4 hour transfer from Nadi), Volivoli or Wananavu (both around 1 1/2 hour transfers.) These are not your typical small palm fringed islands, but they are the best dive options for you in the 3-4*...

Bula, The Shark feeding dives are a little pricey, but generally the soft coral dives are more reasonable. Are they worth it? I think so for a couple of days at least. There are some lovely dives especially to the West of Beqa lagoon around Yanuca island and Frigates reef. There can be moderate...

Bula, First I should say they are both very professional outfits. Beqa Adventure Divers (BAD) and Aquatrek dive on the same general area of reef on the northern edge of Beqa Lagoon. In terms of operations, they are similar with both operating a cat and a mono hull. BAD have a little further to...

Hi. There are several choices. a) Don't dive in Nadi area if you want the best of Fiji. Over priced on the whole and average, at least by Fiji standards, dives. Scuba Bula, just along the coast in Momi Bay are a good outfit and about 20mins or so from Nadi, that's probably the best if you want...

Hi Lots of choices, but given the time and your preferences, I would suggest 5 days at Volivoli where you get some of the best diving including Vatu-i-Ra passage along with fine beaches and a great dive team, but you ae tuck on the resort for the most part. Then go to Pacific Harbour and stay at...

Hi. Good choices I think. Also have a look at Qamea island, which is just to the north of Taveuni. Have a great trip.

Hi. Diveaway are a good outfit who used to be based at Hideaway but now seem to have a base at Outrigger. I don't know their current management. Oceans 18 has taken over at Hideaway where Diveaway used to be..... I think either will be fine so go with the most convenient is my suggestion. Have...

Hi. You are a little limited based in Denerau as you have discovered. Try calling Scuba Bula who are located about a 30min drive from Denerau. One of these numbers should work +679 922 7227 +679 628 0190 +679 922 9137 If a 1 1/2 hour drive doesn't intimidate you, look at Volivoli or Wananavu...

Hi. What JohnN said, but I would add this. The Naia goes to the best spots in the central and North of Fiji, some of which are very hard to get to from a land based operation, but there are options. Best land based diving in my opinion would be Taveuni (loads of resorts), Namena, Kadavu (Mai...

Hi. Contact Scuba Bula who are close to Lautoka. If you also dock in Suva, give me a call a I operate Suva Scuba Have a great cruise. Greg

Bula, There isn't really a place like Cozumel in Fiji as resorts are generally a little isolated with limited transport between them. Pacific Harbour as Boris says above is the closest. There are 2 operators there, Aquatrek and Beqa Adventure Divers who both offer shark dives and coral dives in...

DAN are the best people to make the call. You don't know if any given chamber is operational, in use or otherwise unavailable. There is a chamber in Vanuatu as well. There might also be commercial or military pots in the area on ships.... So, like the man said. Get DAN cover, regardless of the...

Hi, With just 5 days, some diving, DSD, great beach but cultural stuff too, I would suggest The Pearl or slightly more economical, Uprising, both in Pacific Harbour which is a 3 hour road transfer from Nadi airport. You have the option of diving with Aquatrek there for soft coral dives or shark...

Hi, Beqa Lagoon Resort is fine. I spoke to the owner recently and the boat issues have been addressed. There is also a new GM and Dive ops manager, so I hope their usual high standards have been restored. Greg

Hi. Did I reply? Anyway, the answer would be Yes, you can dive Namena while based on Taveuni, but it is about an hours boat ride and they will not be doing it every day, and possibly not at all during your stay, so check in advance. Namena based, could do the opposite and take you to Taveuni for...

Hi. The current temperature in Beqa is 26-27 Deg C. The temperature is falling and you might expect it to be about 25 Deg C by the end of August. Storms past or present, have little impact on the temperature, so don't worry on that count. You can see Fiji sea temp data here which has been...

WetPup is about right I think. I dive here all year round and find a 3mm fine in winter, but others don't agree. If in any doubt, bring 5mm. Water temp will be around 24-25 deg C.On a sunny day you will feel fine, but if it rains, and it might well, you might like having a 5mm. If you have...
