The Fiji Discovery departs from the Tradewinds hotel in Suva and sails straight to Wakaya. With walls, pinnacles and channels this is the place to see manta, hammerheads and other sharks. Manta Point lives up to its name and Wakaya Pass is a deep abyss - perfect for shark sightings. From Wakaya you move to Gau Island where Kim's Alley and Ningali Pass await. The Island of Koro tends to be the next stop off and Black Rock Caverns is the dive that stands out here with atmospheric caves and caverns just begging to be explored. The last stop on the route is Makongi Island which is protected by a barrier reef to the north. The Coral Gardens are sumptuous and Rustic Arch is a stunning natural formation that will impress. An evening is spent with the local tribe on Makongi Island so remember to pack your saraong and get ready to enjoy the dancing. This is the last main area on the Fiji Discovery before the journey back to harbour begins.
Fiji's reefs are in pristine condition and at all of the dive sites you will find lush gardens and giant sea fans. Koro Gardens is a particularly fine example of just how healthy these reefs are. Sharks (hammerheads, reef sharks and even silver tips) and manta are seen on the deep drop offs at Wakaya Pass, Sand Point and E6. Magic Mound is home to white tip sharks and keep an eye out for barracuda and tuna at North Save a Tack. Hi 8 is teeming with sweetlips whilst Rustic Arch is a great spot for napoleon wrasse. White Rock is a favourite site with the guides as there is a friendly and photogenic school of fusiliers whilst Jim's Alley is home to clown fish and turtles. The diving is diverse in Fiji and no two locations are quite the same. Enjoy a new adventure each day!
The Fiji Discovery is open to all experience levels and although there is a little drift diving on the itinerary everyone can marvel at the expansive coral gardens and extravagant marine life. From the largest to smallest inhabitants, Fiji's reefs have it all. Non divers will find a whole new world snorkeling over the reef tops and with an evening spent ashore at Makongi, no one will feel left out. Photographers will find subjects of all shapes and sizes. From the largest manta to the smallest sea horse Fiji has it all. Nitrox is available but rebreather diving is not supported.
Fiji is nick named the coral capital and there is no doubt that the Fiji Discovery lives up to this reputation. From the opulence of the reefs to the luxurious liveaboard, this South Pacific experience will delight any diver wants to escape the crowds and sink into paradise. Both above and below the waves the scenery is stunning and with a friendly Fijian welcome, you will never want to leave this home away from home.
