Subsurface Musket Cove Resort

Diving the Mamanuca Islands with Subsurface

Subsurface at Musket Cove bills itself as Fiji's No.1, multi-award-winning diving and watersports company, and it backs that up with PADI 5 Star credentials and a team of 12 PADI instructors. The water here averages a forgiving 27C (82 F), and Musket Cove itself is a friendly, relaxing island resort with quality accommodation set across a very spacious site.

What makes this a genuinely easy diving holiday is the accessibility. The wide variety of coral environments Subsurface dives are all between 2 - 30 minutes from the dive shops, taking in Fiji's oldest and largest Marine Sanctuary as well as the beautiful Malolo barrier reef. Drift dives, night dives, an action-packed shark encounter and wreck dives are all on the menu — and there are sites suitable for children and novice divers too.

Courses run from the Morning Half-Day Dive Trip with 2 dives (roughly 4 hours) through the PADI Scuba Diver over 2 days and the full PADI Open Water Diver Course across 3 days. With an onsite classroom, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop, kids' equipment rental and a waterfront base, it suits families and first-timers as readily as certified divers. Instruction is in English.
