Fiji is perhaps one of the furthest destinations from the UK - an ideal spot to get away from it all! You will be based on an island called Nasonisoni - it is situated just off the larger island of Vanua Levu (see map).

Vanua Levu is about 160Km from the largest island in Fiji. It is the second most populated island with major industries being coconut plantations, sugarcane and fishing. The whole area around the island (including Nasonisoni) is popular for its reefs and scuba diving adventures, archeological sites, kayaking and hiking.

Nasonisoni is largely an undeveloped island and has one major village - about 20 minutes by boat from our base. The bures (huts) are located on the beach front and are sheltered by lime, coconut and orange trees. It really is quite primative out here and it's a remote and secluded part of this world!

This is not your usual "standard" dive centre. It has been custom-built for all you volunteers. There is a compressor for filling all the tanks and a sheltered area where we keep all the equipment. There's a fresh water tank for rinsing your kit and a small open-air classroom for PADI tuition and marine conservation lessons.

You live in traditional grass 'bures' on the beach around 20 mins by boat from the village. The bures are under palm trees overlooking the Pacific Ocean - a stunning location. Volunteers take it in turn to do the cooking - with the ingredients available!.

The 'bures' are built by volunteers and locals. The roof is about 2/3 the entire size of each 'bure' which provides ample space and keeps the inner space cool during the day. Windows and doors are also built into each 'bure' so that a fresh breeze can constantly come through.

Diving in Fiji is often world class - there are many beautiful and exciting dive sites around the islands. To give you an idea of the underwater world you can expect in Fiji, during your stay you will defintely see wonderful soft corals, several species of shark, all sorts of rays, turtles, lion fish, eels, tutrtles and so much more.

All diving takes place in the stunning un-commercial waters near the camp, meaning volunteers work within undisturbed marine habitats creating some of the best dive opportunities in the world.

When you are not diving there is a lot to do on the island to keep you entertained. On the beach there's always the volleyball and in the local village volunteers frequently get involved with rugby and soccor games. Inland there are also waterfalls and fresh water rivers that volunteers visit to swim in.
