Fiji Scuba Diving

Water enthusiasts will be in heaven at Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort, where warm, clear waters tempt both above and below the waves.

Known as the "Soft Coral Capital of the World," Fiji offers the largest variety of fish and coral anywhere in the world. Small reef dwellers and large ocean pelagics (a class of fish that includes barracuda, tuna, sharks) swim among the colorful reefs near the resort.

Divers of all skill levels will delight in the award-winning facilities at the resort, which is the "World's Best for Diving," according to Harpers Abroad. (January 2003)

For beginners, our expert dive staff will welcome and guide you into the underwater world. Expert divers can do their own thing. We provide PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) certified courses and Nitrox fills.

New Fiji Dive Specials

L'Aventure, our 37-foot custom-built, enclosed cabin dive vessel is equipped with the latest GPS plotter, color depth sounder and radar, catering for 12 divers, individual gear lockers, a freshwater shower, and complimentary soft drinks and cookies. It cruises at 16-18 knots. Each morning, the boat leaves the resort at about 8:30 a.m. and returns for lunch around 12:30. Full day trips, which are organized whenever possible, include a picnic lunch and return to the resort around 4:00 p.m.

L'Aventure Dive Shop has everything you need for an underwater adventure. Snorkels and fins are provided free of charge. Choose from an array of wetsuits, tanks, masks, fins and other accessories. The dive shop is also a great place to hear what's going on under the waves, from shark sightings to the latest findings from the monthly reef check.

Awarded World’s Best Resort Hotel For Scuba Diving

We were honored as the “Best Resort Hotel for Diving” by Harpers Abroad in the “150 Best Places on Earth” in the Harpers & Queen Travel Awards, January 2003. One of Europe's leading magazines, Harpers & Queen had this to say about the resort:

"Best for Diving. The name alone suggests that, at this resort diving is a serious attraction. Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of Jacques, is the founder and owner of the five-star resort on the south coast of the Fijian island of Vanua Levu, where the Koro Sea meets Savusavu Bay. The PADI dive school has access to some of the World's most enviable dive sites: Shark Alley, and the more seductive Big Blue."
