PADI Diving
Scuba Diving Fiji
Matangi is the most centrally located of all Fiji’s northern island resorts to the exceptional scuba diving Fiji sites that Fiji is famous for. Within a 20-mile radius of Matangi Island are countless dive sites including the world famous Great White Wall and Noel’s Wall. To ensure the best diving experience, dive sites are chosen according to daily tidal movements and prevailing weather conditions.
Our daily dive programme includes two morning tanks. We also offer prepaid 3 day/6 tank and 5 day/10 tank dive packages.
Scuba divers are required to produce a dive certification card prior to diving with us.
Our dive boat departs Matangi Island daily around 8:30 am and returns to the island for lunch. Day trips to the more remote sites in the Somosomo Strait can be arranged with a minimum of four divers. A fuel surcharge applies due to the distance of the dive sites from Matangi island. However, to ensure the best dive experience at these sites, the trip is dictated by daily tidal movements, prevailing weather conditions and your diving skills.
Scuba diving at Matangi is both diverse and exciting. Numerous off-shore reefs, spectacular coral formations including multitudes of hard and soft corals and plummeting walls provide a unique habitat for a rich and vibrant marine life.
Spa
For centuries, Pacific Islanders have known about the therapeutic benefits the ocean has to offer and the hydrating and healing properties of virgin coconut oil. Bush herbs, wild flowers and oils extracted from exotic nuts revered for their healing properties found their place in the daily grooming and beauty regimes of men and women through out the Pacific Islands. Only a sacred few possessed the special gift of massage believed to pass through the bloodlines of only those regarded as natural healers.
Spa treatments intertwine traditional Fijian massage and authentically crafted Fijian therapeutic rituals with today’s purest products and proven techniques to offer you a unique Fijian spa experience.
The Ocean Spa situated on the water’s edge offers two couples treatment rooms, one with Vichy styled tropical rain shower and a lounge and over-water deck perfect for some rest and relaxation after your treatments.
