Add to My List Check Off

Claimed to be one of the world’s best dive sites, Beqa Lagoon holds countless treasures for divers seeking the ultimate experience when visiting Fiji’s 300 plus islands. The extinct volcanic crater that is Beqa Lagoon is set among the spectacular coral reefs that protect the islands providing the perfect combination of nutrients and protection from the elements that generates the prolific underwater life. Targets that range from 8 different species of sharks and other large pelagics to colorful tropical fish, blue ribbon eels, octopus, rays and turtles is supported by the perfect combination of conditions. Beqa Lagoon is located on the windward side of the main Fijian island of Viti Levu with the northwestern section of the circular extinct crater (fronting Yanuca Island) thought to provide some of the best circumstances for soft coral and sea fans in the world, attracting the voluminous sub-surface population. Understanding that less than a kilometer from the reef that shelters Beqa Lagoon the Pacific Ocean plunges to a depth of over 1,800 meters and a consistent ½ knot tidal swell from east to west refreshes the reef growth with fresh ocean water only begins to explain the combination of conditions that make this such a wonderful location for diving. 2 famous large wrecks are also among the favorite spots to dive in the immediate area. Beqa Lagoon, near Pacific Harbor, is reached through either of Fiji’s international airports; the largest airport in Fiji, Nadi International, is a 130 kilometer car or bus ride and a one hour boat trip away.
