Water enthusiasts will be in heaven at Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort, where warm, clear waters tempt both above and below the waves.
Known as the "Soft Coral Capital of the World," Fiji offers the largest variety of fish and coral anywhere in the world. Small reef dwellers and large ocean pelagics (a class of fish that includes barracuda, tuna, sharks) swim among the colorful reefs near the resort.
Divers of all skill levels will delight in the award-winning facilities at the resort, which is the "World's Best for Diving," according to Harpers Abroad. (January 2003)
For beginners, our expert dive staff will welcome and guide you into the underwater world. Expert divers can do their own thing. We provide PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) certified courses and Nitrox fills.
L'Aventure, our 37-foot custom-built, enclosed cabin dive vessel is equipped with the latest GPS plotter, color depth sounder and radar, catering for 12 divers, individual gear lockers, a freshwater shower, and complimentary soft drinks and cookies. It cruises at 16-18 knots. Each morning, the boat leaves the resort at about 8:30 a.m. and returns for lunch around 12:30. Full day trips, which are organized whenever possible, include a picnic lunch and return to the resort around 4:00 p.m.
L'Aventure Dive Shop has everything you need for an underwater adventure. Snorkels and fins are provided free of charge. Choose from an array of wetsuits, tanks, masks, fins and other accessories.
Awarded World’s Best Resort Hotel For Scuba Diving
The resort is recognized for providing the best diving this region in Fiji has to offer. The waters of the Koro Sea are known for their exceptional diversity, including a large number of identified dive sites and newer areas we're still exploring. From sites just 10 minutes away to the world-class Namena reefs, we offer a variety of dives for novices and experts alike.
We think part of a great diving experience is the adventure of the unknown. Thus, our guests are welcome to join our exploration and help us name new sites. We also drift dive in some areas never previously dived.
Namena Island
This small island 20 miles to the south of Savusavu is surrounded by mile after mile of unexplored reefs. Seemingly bottomless drop-offs, multi-colored soft corals and perfect coral gardens support an abundance of marine life. This is the place to see the big fish cruising in from the depths of the Koro Sea. Barracuda, spanish mackerel, dog-tooth tuna, mantas and large sharks regularly patrol these reefs.
(Note: Jean-Michel rates Namena as the best dive spot in Fiji, and one of the 10 best in the world. We are one of the only resorts in Fiji that visits Namena on a regular basis.)
Canyons
Swim through beautiful grottos of hard coral extending into vast unexplored underwater canyons. See Reef Sharks resting in the grottos.
Shark Alley
A maze of swim-throughs, overhangs and chambers hide white tip reef sharks resting on sandy bottoms. Giant Mouri wrasse and grouper can be found hiding around the next corner.
Nuggets
The nuggets are two coral heads. One is a myriad of soft corals surrounded by schools of fairy basslets, masked banner fish, leaf fish, with jacks and barracuda circling. The second is covered in golden soft corals. Lionfish, scorpion fish, nesting trigger fish and moray eels are abundant.
Goldilocks
This site is a favorite because you can swim completely around the edge of the reef. It offers great diversity of hard and soft corals, with a very abundant reef fish population.
Jacksons
This spectacular wall features gigantic sea fans at depths of 90 feet. Divers finish among luxurious purple soft corals at 40-60 ft.
Fingers
This site is known for a beautiful spur and groove reef system, jutting fingers of hard coral alternating with high flow grooves., plus painted crayfish, giant tridacna clams, and eagle rays.
Light House
This is a good, deep dive -- 100 feet -- with a large aggregation of fish, such as groupers and snappers, and octopus. This is an active spawning site of both these large fish and smaller reef fish.
Mystery Reef
This isolated reef is scattered with coral heads covered in multi-colored soft corals, spanish mackerel, coral trout and unicorn fish.
Hole in the Wall
This vertical drop off supports huge gorgonian fans. Large tuna, spotted sweetlips, mackerel, barracuda, with bronze whalers lurk in the depths below.
Big Blue
This spectacular drop off features giant gorgonians covered with feather stars. It's a perfect place to watch for sea turtles and large fish.
Alice in Wonderland
This site is an open water large patch reef, where small reef sharks often lurk underneath large mushroom-shaped corals. The upcurrent end has good flow and huge aggregations of reef fish and larger pelagic life.
Nsonisoni Pass
This is a drift dive along a wall covered with every variety of pristine hard and soft corals imaginable. Divers can swim across the passage to the purple bommies, a mass of purple soft corals fed by the nutrient-rich Koro Sea waters. Large barracuda, circling gray reef sharks and white tips cruise everywhere.
Barracuda Point
Beginning on a reef wall just off the coast of the resort, this dive involves swimming along a hard-coral reef finger to join a school of 50-60 resident barracuda. Be on the lookout for hammerheads and schools of batfish as well.
Dreadlocks
In the middle of Savusavu Bay, this site is home to a lavish array of multicolored hard and soft coral as well as lionfish, harlequin filefish and butterfly fish.
