THE BEST OF THE BEST OF FIJI ISLANDS DIVING

SWS has designed the ultimate dive trip for the discerning dive adventure traveler yearning to dive Fiji as it should be, as you've dreamed it would be, diving all the best dive sites on one doable two week (16 days) dive trip.  We'll take you to the best dive sites in Fiji.  To see the planned dive sites for each week, click on the links provided in this paragraph.  They lead you to a list of dive sites we plan to dive the first week land based at Volivoli Beach Resort with Ra Divers taking us to the best sites in Bligh Waters and the famous Vatu-I-Ra Passage.  You'll have the opportunity to do an optional day trip cross island to dive the exhilarating Beqa Lagoon Shark Dive at additional cost mid-week.  Truly an all-day experience not to be missed.  The second week, we board a luxury liveaboard yacht - the FIJI SIREN from where we will set our compass for the more northern world class dive sites in Fiji, passing through some of the most beautiful islands imaginable (a photographer's dream) while diving our brains out in Lomaiviti, Savu Savu and Taveuni   (Some info contained in the Worldwide Dive and Sail attachment describing our dive cruise is inapplicable to our SWS group trip. If you have questions, email the Dive Travel Goddess at lynn@scubaworldsacto.com )  If you've yet to experience a really nice live-aboard dive yacht, you have a treat waiting for you.  Pampering is the first order of business.  With a maximum of 16 passengers and a crew of 12....you do the math.  Dive cruising the second week of your vacation kicks it up a notch beyond the standard dive vacation.  It just doesn't get better than this.  You will be able to honestly say  you've experienced the ULTIMATE Fiji dive adventure after this trip.
