Tucked into the lush south coast of Viti Levu, Waidroka Bay Resort blends warm Fijian hospitality with easy access to some of the country’s most exciting diving – and a serious dose of topside adventure. Sitting within reach of Beqa Lagoon’s famous reefs and shark dives, as well as world‑class surf breaks, this is a great choice if you like your dive holidays a bit more active and off‑the‑beaten‑track.

Straddling the channel between Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, Fiji’s Bligh Water is the stuff of diver daydreams: current‑swept pinnacles smothered in soft corals, walls draped in fans, and clouds of reef fish swirling in the blue. Long known as one of Fiji’s most colourful regions, it’s easily accessible from VoliVoli Beach Resort on the northern tip of Viti Levu, making it a prime target for anyone chasing “soft‑coral capital of the world” diving without complicated travel. 

 From relaxed coral gardens to full‑on current dives with schooling fish, Bligh Water delivers a huge amount of variety in a relatively compact area – ideal for a week or more of intensive, high‑impact diving.

On the southern coast of Negros Island, Dumaguete has quietly earned a reputation as one of the Philippines’ most rewarding dive hubs. Black‑sand muck, colourful coral reefs, and easy access to legendary Apo Island make this region a dream for underwater photographers and critter‑hunters, while the relaxed pace of life and leafy resort settings keep non‑divers very happy too.

Perched on a palm‑fringed peninsula on the northern tip of Viti Levu, VoliVoli Beach Resort blends laid‑back Fijian hospitality with easy access to some of the South Pacific’s most vibrant reefs. It’s the sort of place where you roll out of bed, grab a coffee with an ocean view, and find yourself heading out to world‑class soft corals and fish life within minutes.
