Fiji Scuba Diving Accommodation

As well as being well-known as a budget, family, and romance destination, Fiji is also very popular as a diving mecca. The warm tropical waters make diving a real pleasure, especially in the summer months from November to April. The high season, however, is May to October, for although the water is slightly cooler (24°C - 27°C, or 75°F - 80°F), it is also the season when there are fewer tropical rain showers. Summer ocean temperatures are usually about 3°C (5°F) higher than the winter ocean temperatures. Read more about Fiji Diving
