Captain Andrea, aka the Samurai fisherman, now has a new alias: Ninja Shark diver! He's been wanting to do a hardcore dive with sharks for a while now, so we anchored in Beqa Lagoon and he took a couple dives with Beqa Lagoon Resort's dive centre. Wow! Huge Tiger sharks, Bull sharks, White Tip sharks, Black Tip sharks and millions of fish swirling around.

Our last scuba trip in Fiji was so many years ago, we were wondering if it was still going to be as beautiful as we remembered: we have not been disappointed! Even after the devastating Cyclone Wilson hit the islands last season, we've been so pleased to find wonderful places to dive and snorkel.

This is the place that we all dream of finding when we start a world circumnavigation. You have your own private island with a gorgeous beach and native coconut palm trees shading you (and available to drink and eat!). A pristine reef in shallow water filled with colorful hard corals, anemones and tons of fish-life (also tasty and good to eat!) directly in front of the beach within an...

We arrived here and the weather was not so good for the first few days. The wind was calm and the water in the lagoon was flat but the sky was grey, overcast and rainy. Regardless we came for the snorkeling and it didn't disappoint one bit. In fact, even in these dreary conditions we all agreed it was the best snorkeling we ever had anywhere else in the world (big statement, we know!).

This is a really nice anchorage well out of the southeast wind and swell. Close by is some of the nicest snorkeling and diving we're had in Fiji (aside from our time diving Rainbow Reef). The diving is particularly easy in only 5-10 meters with the coral is good shape (despite cyclone Winston in February 2016). As usual, the people in the local village are very friendly and we have...

Once you decide to visit Fiji with your sailing yacht you begin to understand that the navigation charts you have trusted in most places of the world are way less useful here. Whether you are using charts on your navstation plotter from Navionics or Jeppesen, chart programs on the iPad, MaxSea, OpenCPN, Admiralty paper charts or even the local charts you can buy here in Fiji… you soon...

This is a great anchorage for diving the Rainbow Reef area of Fiji which is located in the Somosomo Strait between the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni. We've been here over a week now in all sorts of wind, rain, sunshine, etc. and have enjoyed a very sheltered and quiet anchorage.

Tracy and I were here in 2004 on a live-aboard dive boat for 2 weeks. Since then, whenever someone would ask me where I thought the best diving and underwater photography was, I would always say, Rainbow Reef, Fiji. Now, 12 years later I can confirm that statement. The diving here in the Somosomo Strait is challenging as the current can be a real issue but, the results are definitely...
