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.

Dive at Waidroka

Our special location close to world famous Beqa lagoon and the amazing variety of local reefs offer an exceptional diving experience. Coral Coast d

The main advantage of diving on the Coral Coast is the proximity of sites to the coast.  The inside reefs can be reached by small boat, currents are usually moderate, and you will see good coral and reef fish.  To see bigger pelagic fish and spectacular coral, we will take you to dive the outer reefs and passages.  The reef surrounding Beqa is considered one of the world’s top diving locations.iving offers unexplored diving as well as many dive sites of world renown such as sites in and around Beqa Lagoon.  However, there is no such thing as the ‘best’ diving site, especially in Fiji.  Every dive site has something special or unique to see and dives range from safe and easy to wall dives in fast currents.Dive at Waidroka

Beqa Lagoon, a 64-km barrier reef is famous for its dive sites which include Frigates Pass, a 48m wall dive with large pelagic fish including reef sharks; and Caesar’s Rocks with amazing coral heads and swim throughs.

Waidroka Bay Resort has a full service PADI Dive Shop on site, offering one, two or three tank dives.  Waidroka Dive offers well maintained equipment for those that prefer to rent their equipment.
We offer dive excursions to dozens of world famous sites along with PADI courses catering to complete beginners through to professional level divers.

Come explorer our abundant and unspoiled hard and soft corals and brilliantly colored walls in clear warm water just minutes from the resort. Whether diving through passages, caves, clearings, or the wreck of the “TASU No.2” with visibility ranging from 50 to 150 feet you will have the opportunity to view sleeping sharks, rays, turtles, dolphins, and an incredible variety of fish. We have it all!
