Snorkeling Anyone?

If you think diving is a bit full-on, snorkeling is highly recommended for a more relaxing underwater viewing activity.

Diving Conditions

Diving in Fiji is considered best from April to October. During the rainy season, November to March, river run-offs from the main islands decreases visibility. Visibility varies a lot but the best visibility is in winter from July to September.

Diving in Fiji aspects are as follows:

Weakness: wrecks

Experience Level: beginner to advanced
