If the Fiji Islands are known as the soft coral capital of the world, then the Beqa Lagoon on the rim of an ancient volcano, is the virtual rainbow of under ocean colors providing nature’s treasure. Here, nutrient rich water rushes in through breaks in the walls of this underwater mountain, supporting both diverse soft and hard corals. Nearby is a series of coral pinnacles lying in the shrouds of fairy basslets, and brilliant red sea fans. This diving experience will endow the diver with mazes, caves and spectacular coral gardens to explore..   

Our Beach Resort is home to Caesar’s Rocks and Frigate Pass, Fiji’s most renowned dive spots. The Rocks has an enormous array of colorful corals. This is an ideal dive for beginners and for indulgent night time diving.
