Sau Bay Resort and Spa

Tucked into the shores of Viani Bay, Fiji, Sau Bay Divers is the in-house dive operation at Sau Bay Resort & Spa — a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort where a PADI certified team focuses on first-class service, memorable underwater time, and above all your safety. The dive base sits just steps from the sandy beach, with full diving valet services and small-group diving that keeps things relaxed and personal.

Courses, sites and who it suits

Learning here is easy to build on: the team runs the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course, roughly a two-day programme from USD 450. Close to home you'll find celebrated sites including The Great White Wall and the Cabbage Patch, with the chance to encounter sharks, whales, turtles and plenty of ocean fish along the reefs.

With an onsite classroom, air-conditioned comfort, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop, house reef, dive boat and onsite accommodation, it's a natural fit for resort guests as well as divers arriving from nearby Taveuni or Savusavu. Air fills, nitrox and equipment rental round out the setup, and the team works in English.
