wananavu is a truly idyllic resort offering an island paradise experience with mainland convenience.

Waidroka Bay Resort

Fiji’s warm, clear waters and abundance of reef life make the islands a magnet for divers and snorkelers.  Visibility regularly exceeds 30m.  In terms of visibility the drier months of April to November are more reliable, but in different seasons the diver will experience different things and diving is quite good year round.  Many travelers take the opportunity to learn scuba diving while in Fiji.More info here…

Welcome to The Great Fiji Shark Count !

Throughout the months of April and November every year, you have the opportunity to help celebrate and record Fiji’s amazing coral reef biodiversity, show you care about our world’s delicate coral reef systems, and have fun, by taking part in the FIJI-WIDE SHARK COUNT!

Easy to do, this is suitable for visitors and locals alike, whether you like to fish, snorkel, or SCUBA dive. We hope that tourists, school children, scientists and all people with an interest in the marine environment will take to the reefs with us to search for the Sharks of Fiji!

The Great Fiji Shark Count will be held across Fiji every April and November every year.

You can do a single count, or take part as many times as you like during that month, so that you cover different reefs. All data will be gratefully accepted!

So, see your resort, watersports operator or travel agent, get your Shark identification materials and dive into the beautiful blue waters of Fiji, to be a part of history!
