Fiji Dive Overview
The year in Fiji is roughly divided into two seasons; wet and dry. The wet season, characterized by heavy brief local showers, generally begins in November and can extend through to April.
Topside Temperature
Daytime temperatures range from an average of 25C (77F) during the dry season, up to 31C (88F) in the wetter months whilst evenings are marginally cooler and can drop to just 21C (70F).
Water Temperature
Water temperatures are broadly similar throughout the region; the coolest waters are usually to be found in July to October with an average of approximately 26C (78F). Warmer waters are common in February- June with averages of approximately 28C (82F).
Wetsuit Recommendation
Most guests find that a 3mm shorty and possibly a rash vest is suitable for the water temperature in the warmer months, and 3mm 5mm long for the rest of the year. However, for guests who feel the cold easily, especially with repeated diving, we recommend bringing an extra vest/hood.
Dive Sites
The reefs in the surrounding Bligh Waters are some of the healthiest in the world, with very little pollution and few boats, so youll be able to see an array of marine life including anemone fish, turtles, colorful soft coral, and reef sharks. Ra Divers' staff have handpicked more than 50 superb dive sites. Most of the best sites are no more than 20 minutes by boat from Volivoli Beach.

More information about Fiji diving
The Vatu-I-Ra Passage, located in the Bligh Waters between Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, is renowned for some of Fiji's most spectacular dive sites. The area is known for its vibrant soft corals and diverse marine life, including barracudas, sharks, and schools of colorful fish. Iconic dive sites like E6 and Mellow Yellow feature stunning coral-covered pinnacles and thriving marine ecosystems. The currents in the passage create ideal conditions for both drift dives and large pelagic sightings, making it a must-visit for advanced divers​.

Overall ValueAccommodations
Marine Life FoodVolivoli is a beautiful resort. It is contemporary Fijian style architecture with a spectacular view overlooking the sea. The grounds are beautifully manicured with indigenous plants and flowers. Built on a hill the walkways were easy and well lit. We stayed in an Ocean View Room which was very comfortable and spacious. Sitting on the patio after a day of diving was relaxing. The pool area is beautiful and the beach bar is very tropical.The diving in the Bligh Waters is nice. We enjoyed the variety of fish, the reef shark, and the corals. We did not get to the sites that we had hoped to get to, such as Vatu-I-Ra passage. The dive staff were, overall, fine but fell short in a few areas, such as safety and handling our gear.The food was excellent and the wait staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect. They were very friendly and made a point of knowing your name.There were a few items added to our overall bill that were incorrect so I would certainly make sure to check your invoice when leaving. The items were corrected once brought to the staffs attention. Overall, this is a beautiful resort with great food, great hospitality staff, and good diving.

Overall ValueAccommodationsMarine Life FoodVolivoli is one of the best dive resorts I've ever visited. The diving there was fantastic, coral reefs were super healthy with a ton of fish especially in the marine reserve which is about 45 min boat ride. We didn't see too many pelagics in a week of diving (a few sharks and 1 turtle), but the reefs are full of small to medium-sized fish. The house reef is great for muck diving with a lot of anemones and shrimps inside. The dive team is extremely professional, our favorite DM is Jah. He was super friendly and he worked very hard to accommodate our needs.We stayed in the Premium Ocean View Villa. The room was very nice and large. It came with a kitchen, washer, air conditioner, patio and lounging chairs.The food at Volivoli was great and has a lot of variety. The staff at the restaurants were very friendly. The weekly Lovo night was a blast. You will get to see locals singing, dancing, and sharing their culture with you. That was also my best meal there.We signed up for the 4 days unlimited massage package which is a fantastic deal. There was some miscommunication between the receptionist and the masseuse and the masseuse didn't want to do the 1.5hrs that we requested (we only got 1hr that time). But later we confirmed with the receptionist and it should truly be unlimited and we got 1.5hrs that we requested the following day.Overall, we would highly recommend Volivoli and we will definitely come back for the great diving, beautiful resort, and the professional dive team.

Overall ValueAccommodationsMarine Life FoodI stayed at Volivoli in October. I looked forward to my dives in the marine park every day. The soft corals and coral structures were impressive. It was fun descending upon sites and weaving through pathways and tunnels. Jesse, Esa, and Bloss were good divemasters, always with a good attitude.Food was delicious, I was satisfied with everything the kitchen offered. VA was a good server.Room was spacious, appropriately-designed, and had a nice view to relax at the end of the day.Matthew settled all issues at the reception regarding billing and optional excursions.Music was played at night, buffets had good food, dances had performers in good spirits.Everyone provided excellent service.

Overall ValueAccommodationsMarine Life FoodI had actually originally scheduled my visit with the Wananavu Resort which was next door, but when I arrived, I learned that I had reserved my vacation for the wrong dates and there was no space available. I was only able to stay at the Wananavu for one night. Volivoli was nice enough to accept my last minute reservation and they were fantastic! I was in an upgraded bungalow with two bedrooms and a private pool. The accommodations were spacious and comfortable. The seating area in the suite was not particularly plush, but I was more interested in the diving rather than spending my time in my room. Compared to the accommodations from the other resort next door, I would definitely choose this resort over Wananavu when I travel to Fiji again. At Volivoli, the food was fantastic and the service was impeccable. The dive center was spacious and the boat was comfortable. The staff portered my gear for me back to my room at the completion of my trip, and I was able to store everything at the dive shop.I loved the diving here due to the beauty of the soft coral. The fish life was reasonably good at the sites nearer to the resort and excellent at some of the outer marine protected areas. Pelagic encounters were limited (for this I would suggest Beqa and the shark diving there). I will definitely go back here again, and I will stay at the Volivoli when I do.

Overall ValueAccommodationsMarine Life FoodWow! I've been to many dive resorts all around the world, and Volivoli Beach Resort is one of my favorite!DivingIf you love colorful soft coral reefs supporting thousands of tropical fish, there is no better than the Vatu-I-Ra passage in the Bligh Water. Ra Divers have really stable dive boats that can move fast. It still takes about 45 minutes to get to the Vatu-I-Ra passage, but the diving is well worth the long ride. Diving on the reefs closer to the resort are also really good, but Vatu-I-Ra passage is the main event of a dive trip here. There is a house reef, but it is mainly muck diving, although I saw a couple of giant frogfish and seahorses.ResortThe resort is located on a hill, so there are a lot of stairs, especially if you are in a standard or deluxe room. Walking from the dive shop located at the beach level all the way up requires a few stops along the way. Luckily there are at least 3 bars on the way up with at least one of them hosting a happy hour at any one time. Half way up is also the pool, but it large for a dive resort, and also has a swim up bar. The recreation room is next to the pool. There are multiple activities throughout the week like a kava ceremony and traditional dances from the village nearby.AccommodationAll rooms come with a view which is one of the benefits of being on a hill. Some have an ocean view, and some have a view of the mountains and bay. Both views are amazing. If you are a couple, upgrade to a premium oceanview room. These are a lot more spacious than the standard and deluxe rooms, come with a lot more privacy and are half way up to the top of the hill.FoodMeal time is one of the most exciting times at Volivoli. The menu is extensive so you can try something different every day. Dishes are extremely tasty and well presented. I am not one that usually go for dessert, but their Volivoli Reef Shark dessert is out of this world. The diving area was recently remodeled and it is very fancy for a dive resort (in a good way). It is open and very breezy. The restaurant is indoors but let's in a lot of light during the day, and the mood lighting at night is perfect. There is also a large bar in the restaurant, and a lounge area as you enter the complex.The combination of excellent diving, good dive boat, excellent food and nice accommodations makes Volivoli a real treat.
