Need help Fiji + Nitrox

[wake4rick]

Hello everyone
I am planning a trip with my buddies in January. I would like to find a good place and nitrox in Fiji. Can any one help me? It seems that Nitrox is truly Voodoo gas in Fiji.

Bula Rick,

While Nitrox isn't pervasive in Fiji, there are some places that offer it (and more coming). Where will you be staying, or what part of the country are you interested in? If you let me know those things I can probably tell you who offers it in the area (if any) or who to check with. You might also try the group 'All About Fiji Scuba Diving' on LinkedIn or Facebook.

Hey Fiji Dive Guy, how about Nitrox on Taveuni??

 

[wake4rick]

We where thinking of Kadavu, but anywhere with good diving is open.

As far as I know, the only place with Nitrox in Taveuni is Paradise Taveuni down on the south end. Qamea (just off Taveuni) also has it. Both have just put it in. Nobody in Kadavu offers Nitrox. The liveaboards (including Nai'a and Tui Tai) also offer it. Tui Tai is the only one that regularly dives Somosomo.

Thanks, FDG. I'll be on Tav next March and likely will go for nitrox for the couple of days I plan a few repetitives. I'll go with air when we go deeper.

Do Beqa Lagoon Resort and/or Namale (near Savusavu) offer Nitrox?

I dove with Cousteau in Savusavu. They offered nitrox. However, I didn't end up using it. The day we went to Namena it would have been useful as I really had to keep my eye on my NDL on the second dive. I want to say it was F$25 a fill.

I don't believe that either BLR or Namale offer Nitrox.

Thanks very much, Fiji Dive Guy! Do you know if Koro Sun does? And how is their dive operation in general?
