Taveuni Dive Data

Although Taveuni is called the "Garden Island" because of the richness of its topside flora, the name could equally apply to the remarkable, colourful scenes beneath its waters. The Somosomo Strait is the stretch of water between the island and Vanua Levu. The Strait almost single-handedly earns Fiji its title as "The Soft Coral Capital of the World".

Currents are variable in Taveuni but you should at least be prepared for some as it is seldom entirely still here. Normally the currents are little more than a gentle helping hand along the way, guiding you past some of the most wonderful proliferations of soft corals on the planet. When the current is present to any reasonable extent the grateful corals expand to their finest and most enchanting, whereas without the current they would retract into barely visible balls - and who wants that?

It is not all sessile stuff when diving in Taveuni however as the nutrient rich waters also result in the presence of plenty of pelagic fish species and you can expect to see barracuda, reef sharks and manta rays, particularly at a site aptly named The Zoo.

There are also some really rewarding sites off the little islands to the north east which you will surely visit if staying for several days. Here there is less current but still plenty to see and these sites can make an interesting change from the Somosomo Strait where diving can, in every sense, be truly breath-taking.
