I've had 13 trips to dive Fiji's reefs --land based operations and live-aboards.

Anyone who thinks they can just drop off a plane in Nadi and expect to be immediatley
escorted to the best that Fiji has to offer is mistaken. Most likely, one will board a
small plane and be taken to one of the outer islands in the Fiji archipelago, or
perhaps the best that Fiji has to offer is through a live-aboard dive operation. That
has been my experience.

Since January - April is cyclone season, that time frame should be avoided. If you are
a N. American diver, most likely you will want to take your dive vacation June-August,
and that is a wonderful time to visit Fiji for diving. Days are balmy, not too cool,
not too warm and humidity genrally low -- great for suiting up without breaking into a
sweat.

I once had a trip to Fiji in late October and I found it was already getting a bit too
warm.

Hi,

I'd like to get some recommendations and also general info about diving
in Fiji. The best time to go, viz, what one would expect to see there,
must-see dive sites, you name it.

I'm especially interested about bit more peaceful islands with small
dive shops, something a bit off the beaten path.

Thanks in advance,
