2025/06/14 Fiji Diving from Savusavu's Savasi Island Resort

π 2025-06-14 01:01 in Diving

For week 2 of diving in Fiji (week one was Taveuni), I picked another island and went to Savusavu area and stayed at Savasi Island. The island and resort were both beautiful, but they only had a very small 3rd party dive boat which they did not even make proper reservations for me with, so I missed the first day as the boat left 1h earlier than normal, and without me (while I was there, but told not to go before 08:00 because no one would be there, yet). This was very disappointing to be honest, but as a result I ended up going to the Jeam Michel Cousteau diving center, which was absolutely world class, although it's stuck in a very overpriced family friendly resort where it does not below. As a result, I ended up using a driver to get there and back (30mn each way), daily.

Anyway, while most of the dives were done from JMCDC, and the sea conditions were not great, still saw some cool things:

cleaning shrimp

lovely little dance they do while cleaning your hands

magic coral

beautiful Juvenile Dragon Wrasse

great to see them walking around

And then, found this beautiful baby cuttlefish:

lovely colors

My last day, the conditions were poor, so I went to sheltered Natewa Bay with Ocean Ventures, who nicely agreed to a private diving trip. Very cool seafloor and soft corals:
