Fiji Dive Culture Conservation

Scuba Diving Course

During the first 2 weeks you will receive your scuba diving training, which will enable you to join the conservation programme and partake in the diving at other points during the programme.

Your training will require you to complete 1 scuba course – either the PADI Open Water Course or the Advanced Open Water Course. If you have already completed these qualifications, you have options for other courses or extra dives instead.

Culture Experience

During the first 2 weeks, participants stay with a traditional Fijian village learning all about the way of life of these amazing friendly people. Spend half of your time on the scuba courses and half with the Fijian community, in a complete cultural immersion!

Conservation Project

The project aims to build an MPA (Marine Protected Area) in Savusavu Bay, Vanua Levu Island. A marine protected area is a place where corals, fish and other marine eco-systems are allowed to flourish without risk of being altered or harmed by man. The research you undertake will support the work of the already established MPA located nearby.
