A Nice Day of Diving

Our resort manager Hal, wanted to share pictures of a nice day of diving on the Rainbow Reef:  

A stellar day of diving with Dive Master Alfred and Boat Captain Nio. We did a drift along Rainbows End, where we saw several white tip reef sharks, including a pregnant female, and an enormous Napoleon Wrasse lunching on the reef. His entourage of groupers were picking up the leftovers. Surface interval was at the stunning Waitaitavi beach, where three of our divers were staying. Back out to the reefs for dive two, we dove Barracuda Hole and saw one barracuda, several more sharks, and a small hawksbill turtle. The colors were impossible to describe and photos don't do justice to the reef and the island scenery! 

Captain Nio headed out to Barracuda Hole.

Dive Master Alfred thinking about snacks at surface interval.

Picking up guests from Waitaitavi is a nice change of pace, and a perfect place to have surface interval.

First TDR Fly Through

Fred wanted to show you a teaser flying over the resort in March.  Not bad, huh? We’ll be posting some of the other flights over the coming weeks, with more footage available at the Scuba show in Long Beach, CA.

Dinner and the Olo

Well, things are going pretty well here at the Taveuni Dive Resort.  First, we'd like to show you some nice pictures Karen took of the restaurant being prepared for dinner.  Can you imagine yourself sharing a meal in this setting?

I hear it from the guests that dinner was quite tasty.

Another view of the pool.  The infinity edge and the sound of the water recirculating is a nice addition to a meal on the terrace.

The bridge and Olo. The Olo is a semi-private area to gather, discuss the latest gossip from the coconut wireless, and enjoy the views offered by the landscape.

Calling All Dive Groups!

Folks,  we have some great news!  For 12 years Carl and Muriel have run Taveuni Dive, the most reliable and experienced dive operator on Taveuni. To better accommodate the dive groups wanting to visit, we've decided to open our own dive resort.  The Taveuni Dive Resort will have eight very special bures, so it can easily accommodate the typical dive group of 16 people.  The resort will be Taveuni's first sustainable resort.

We're starting construction in March 2014, so we will be open in the fall of 2014.  Thanks for all of your support, and keep visiting for additional news.

Check out a little about our resort here.  We've also launched our new Facebook page.
