Dive Kadavu

Dive Kadavu is the ultimate South Pacific Scuba resort for divers and non-divers alike. They offer the best location in Fiji: a remote island, palm fringed white sand beach and some of the best diving in the world.Our resort only has 10 Fijian Style Bures (bungalows) and a maximum of 24 guests at a time. All Bures are private and offer the range of modern conveniences you would expect for many "Upmarket" resorts. There are no crowds, no cars, no stress and no bad days.

For the scuba diver they offer the greatest possible variety of sites. Over 80 dive sites await you, including swimthroughs, wreck, coral gardens, walls, drop-offs and macro. Who knows what you might see... just about anything is possible… mantas, jacks, tuna, sharks, grouper, sea snakes, rays, nudibranchs & more. Non divers can always snorkel on the many sites offered. Whether you are looking to get away from your world or are looking for something different, Dive Kadavu can offer more than most.

The Dive Kadavu team of skilled professionals will guide you through some of the best dive sites in the world. The fleet of purpose built dive boats will let you there quickly and comfortably. You arrive at the dive sites refreshed and ready for the adventures that only the reefs of Kadavu can offer. This is the easiest and most enjoyable diving you can imagine. Diving in these clear waters with abundant marine life, brilliantly coloured soft and hard coral and endless swimthroughs is a dream come true.

Banking
There are no banks on Kadavu. Should you need to have cash, we suggest that you exchange at the airport in Nadi. The resort accepts travelers checks, US cash, Fijian cash, Visa & MasterCard. Please Note that American Express is not accepted due to the extremely high rate they charge.

Bar
The Lagoon View Bar is open from 11.00am to 9.30pm daily. We stock an extensive range of wines, spirits and Fijian beers. Naturally the Cocktail of the Day is always the special of the day.

Business Services
We have a limited ability to offer business services, after all we are a dive resort. Email can be sent and received at a cost, as can facsimiles. Because of our remote location, communications are via a radio phone line. This makes them both costly and often very slow.

Catering
Please advise us in advance if you require anything special. It may be vegetarian meals, a birthday our some other special occasion.

Check-in/Check-out times
Guests may check into their rooms from 2.00pm or earlier if the room is ready. Check out time is 11.00am.

Dress Code
The resort is a very casual environment. We suggest that you dress to the standard that you would like whilst at Dive Kadavu. The Fijian people are very modest and we ask that you respect their customs and traditions by avoiding revealing clothing outside the resort. We will advise at the resort.

Drinking Water
The resort collects its own water from rainfall. We then filter it 4 times and run it through a cooler. Bottled water is also available for purchase from the bar.

Electricity
The resort produces its own power through the day via a generator. For the times that the generator is not running, we operate on an inverter system. Please ask the staff before plugging in anything that uses a lot of power ie hairdryer. The power is 240 volts/50 cycles.

Hospital Services
There is a well-equipped hospital situated in Vunisea near the Kadavu airport. It takes about 15 minutes by boat to get there.

Laundry
Because of the damage that detergent does to the marine ecosystem, we do not offer a laundry service for guests. Please attempt to minimize your need for laundry.

Pool
We have one of the largest pools in the world…. The Pacific Ocean! Our all tide beach offers soft white sand and the perfect place to take a splash.

Restaurant
Located in the elevated dining area, we serve a variety of local and international dishes. Meals are order off the blackboard or buffet style. We always have fresh fish available when it is caught.

Shopping/Nightlife
If you are looking for the disco or nightclub, you have come to the wrong place. We offer a smiling face, music from the local village players and great company. Sorry no flashing lights.

Telephone Calls
Because of the isolated location, the resort only has 1 radio telephone link. Urgent calls can be made at a cost of US$5 per minute.

Tipping
Tipping is not customary in Fiji. In fact we discourage individual tipping. We have a Staff Fund box located in the office if you would like to contribute. Gratuities are distributed to all the staff, even those that you don’t get to see, at Christmas. This is the fairest system and is the way that the chief and elders of the village want to see it done.
