Description

The base of Diving Fiji is situated in beautiful Savusavu, located on the northern Fijian island of Vanua Levu. Fiji is known as the "friendly islands" due to the open and welcoming nature of the Fijian people, there are very few other places in the world where you will be welcomed with the same warmth and sincerity. Fiji runs on the brilliant philosophy of "Fiji time", which basically means spending your time relaxed and stress-free.

Courses

Our programs are perfect for both those with diving experience and those with no experience what so ever. We provide 4 programs which offer a delightful combination of immersion in Fijian Culture, Volunteering through Marine Conservation, Dive Packages and for those who are looking to start a professional life in diving, the option of completing a PADI Dive Master Internship.

Accommodation

What better way to begin your stay in paradise than by staying the first couple of weeks with a Fijian family in a traditional village, fully immersing yourself in the Fijian way of life and learning some Fijian language. Later you will move to a backpacker style resort where you can enjoy the wide range of activities and night life on offer. Just ask us if you prefer more luxurious style accommodation for you and those accompanying you.
