Waidroka Bay Resort

Fiji's warm, clear waters and abundance of reef life make the islands a magnet for divers and snorkelers, and Waidroka Bay Resort puts you right at the heart of it. Sitting on the Coral Coast close to the world-famous Beqa Lagoon, this PADI 5 Star Dive Resort backs its diving with four PADI instructors and a house reef on the doorstep. Visibility here regularly exceeds 30m, with the drier months of April to November the most reliable — though diving stays good year round.

Courses and diving on the Coral Coast

Many travelers learn to dive in Fiji, and the resort offers PADI Scuba Diving, Freediving, Snorkelling and EFR First Aid, plus conservation. The great advantage of the Coral Coast is proximity: inside reefs are reached by small boat in moderate currents for good coral and reef fish, while outer reefs and passages bring bigger pelagics and spectacular coral.

Beqa Lagoon, a 64-km barrier reef, is famous for sites such as Frigates Pass, a 48m wall dive with large pelagic fish including reef sharks, and Caesar's Rocks with its coral heads and swim-throughs. An onsite training pool, classroom, dive boat and equipment rental round out the setup — welcoming for new and experienced divers alike.
