Explore the Depths with Big Blue Fiji’s Diving Charters

Big Blue Fiji offers three SSI diving courses exclusively as part of private liveaboard charters. Intro Dives require no previous experience and are perfect for beginners to experience crystal-clear tropical waters surrounded by marine wonders. The SSI Open Water Dive Course is a custom-designed program over a minimum of three days that prepares you to become open water certified and dive independently. The SSI Advanced Open Water Dive Course (requiring minimum Open Water Certification) includes five dives over three days, taking certified divers to extraordinary sites including reefs, caves, and coral walls.

All necessary diving equipment is provided including wetsuits (when required), clear anti-fog diving masks, snorkels, fins, weight belts, Buoyancy Control Devices (BCDs), high-performance regulators, modern dive computers to monitor depth and time, dive lights for dark sites, safety briefings, first aid kit, emergency Personal Floatation Devices for all guests, communication equipment, and emergency oxygen kit. Optional underwater cameras are available for capturing diving adventures. Simply let us know how many people will be participating, and we’ll provide all equipment.

All scuba diving courses and diving experiences are exclusively available as part of Big Blue Fiji’s private, tailor-made liveaboard charters. Diving cannot be booked as a standalone service – it must be incorporated into a multi-day charter package.
