Discover the sunny Mamanuca & Yasawa Islands and the spectacular Bligh Water on this Dive Fiji holiday. Explore one of Fiji’s premier shark dives and see why the Soft Coral Capital has its name in Bligh Water.
Spend six nights in the sunniest part of Fiji, the Mamanuca & Yasawa Islands, where highlights include large pinnacles, a wide variety of reef fish at Gotham City and plenty of sharks at Supermarket - this dive site is known as one of Fiji's premier shark dives. Scuba divers can discover a vast region of virgin reef, islands and tiny islets to explore. This is followed by six nights exploring the magnificent Bligh Water, where you'll find unspoilt reefs, soft and hard corals, sea fans, sponges and abundant marine life.
This suggested itinerary utilises road and boat transfers to maximise time diving during your stay. The areas of Bligh Water and Rakiraki, Beqa Lagoon & Pacific Harbour, and the Mamanuca & Yasawa Islands can all be reached from Nadi International Airport without the need for a domestic flight. It's possible to interchange any of these locations to create your perfect tailor-made Fiji dive holiday - talk to the Dive team to discuss ideas.
