What Is the Best Dive Resort in Fiji?

What makes Beqa Lagoon Resort the best dive resort in Fiji? Is it what it offers for serious divers, or is there something more?

Voted one of the world’s top dive resorts by Scuba Magazine Readers, this secluded island paradise sits surrounded by the Great Beqa Reef. The reef stretches 190 miles of spectacular coastline, creating one of the world’s largest barrier reef systems. Over 100 dive sites lie minutes from shore. Learn what’s more for you:

The Cathedral Shark Dive

The Cathedral dive site delivers the ultimate in shark diving, with up to 8 species of sharks arriving. Tiger sharks, bull sharks, lemon sharks, grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, blacktip reef sharks, silvertip sharks, and nurse sharks appear regularly. This three-times-weekly hand-fed shark dive happens just 15 minutes by boat from the resort. Divers sit on the bottom while experienced dive staff position behind and above with poles for safety

Soft Coral Capital Diving

Fiji is known as the Soft Coral Capital of the world, and Beqa Lagoon delivers spectacular undersea gardens. Divers find Melithaeidae corals in orange, purples, and whites, commonly found on reef overhangs. Sites range from 15 feet to beyond 100 feet in depth. Water temperatures range between 75°F and 84°F, with divers comfortable in 3mm to 5mm suits.

PADI Dive Center Excellence

The resort’s PADI Dive Masters have been exploring these waters since they were children and know every reef and coral head. Visibility is typically over 100ft with generally mild currents. Three catamaran dive boats accommodate 15-20 divers each. Most guests make two dives daily, with three possible. Unlimited shore diving is available steps from beachfront bures.

Beyond Shark Diving

Blue ribbon eels, clown triggerfish, leaf scorpion fish, octopus, and seahorses inhabit the reefs. Three deliberately scuttled fishing vessels serve as artificial wrecks. Sites like Frigate Passage feature dramatic coral-covered walls and swim-throughs. Pearl Rock showcases coral gardens teeming with anthias, butterflyfish, and sea turtles.

To be the best dive resort in Fiji, we blend world-class shark encounters, pristine soft coral reefs, and expert local dive teams on one secluded island.
