Dive Information

Fiji has become one of the worlds most popular tropical dive destinations and much of this interest is due to the superb diving at Taveunis acclaimed Rainbow Reef. Here we find reefs ablaze with every color of the rainbow, as multi-hued soft corals and fish feed in the tidal currents of the Somosomo Straits. Add to this clear, warm tropical water and you have truly world-class diving.

All dives with Garden Island Resort are at the world-renowned Rainbow Reef. This area includes the scatteredreefs in the Somosomo Strait and the fringing reef south of Vanua Levu. The closest reefs are just 10 minutes away.

The boats depart at 9:00 am for the daily 2-tank dives, (please be at the Dive Centre by 8:30 am) and arrives back at the Resort at approx. 1:15 pm in time for a relaxing lunch. There are occasions when we will offer a 3 tank dive (additional cost for 3rd dive applies) and the boat will go to a beach where a picnic lunch will be offered, the 3rd dive will be done after lunch on return to the resort.
