The water temperature is extremely warm, averaging 27 degrees Celsius, with winter temperatures around 25 degrees and summer temperatures can be up to 30 degrees at diving depths of 5 meters. Fiji also has excellent visibility, often 50 meters or more, however the best months for diving are the winter months (May to Nov) as it is the dry season with less rain.

There are also a number of larger fish including, a number of different types of sharks, manta rays, dolphins and turtles often spotted.
