Yasawas, Fiji

Adv. Open Water Course (3 days / 2 nights. Incl. 5 dives)

The diving
The waters around Mantaray Island Resort are an internationally recognized refuge for Manta Rays.

With or without these creatures present, the diving is outstanding all year round and shouldn’t be missed! But, each year between May and October the waters are blessed with the elegance of the Pacific Manta Ray. So if you do have the freedom to plan, then hit their season! As many as thirteen manta rays have been recorded in front of the resort at one time. Daily snorkelling trips allow visitors to experience these magnificent creatures up close as they glide majestically through the nutrient rich channel just around the corner. This strait can’t be dived, but the reefs just outside sports over 25 dive sites, and they certainly can. In these Pacific waters you will find sublime visibility and an extremely colourful marine life hanging out on healthy reefs. The house reef just in front of the beach is a perfect example of the wealth in this area.

The Advanced Course is a perfect excuse to explore more of the reefs in this area. Doing 5 dives with 5 different objectives, you will alter your diving skills, literally qualify for greater depths and raise your overall comfort level in the water.
