South Pacific Dive Shop, Liveaboard & Dive Site Reviews

Diving in the South Pacific is highly rated thanks to some of the world's largest barrier reefs, warm waters and superb visibility. The diving selection is varied from coral gardens to cave or shipwreck exploration. Fiji ranks highly in the diversity list with some of the best soft corals in the world loaded with colour. Discover the Great White Wall in the Somo Somo Strait literally decorated with soft coral.

Exotic Tahiti is great for reefs bursting with tropical marine life including manta rays, blacktip and grey reef sharks for the more adventurous whilst The Cook Islands cater well to novice divers. Tonga offers the once in a lifetime opportunity to dive or snorkel amongst humpback whales and also offers an excellent variety of corals.
