Diving
at Mantaray
Stunning
coral gardens, spectacular swim
throughs, amazing reef walls
and over a thousand species
of marine life are just some
of the things you're likely
to experience diving in the
Yasawa's.
Mantaray
Island Resort is located 70km
from the mainland and is the
only dive operator in the Naviti
group of the Yasawa's. Over
40 dive sites are accessible
within 20 minutes cruising from
the resort. Having such a large
variety of dives sites ensure
divers are able to continue
to enjoy pristine marine environments
with very little or no impact
from other divers.
Whether
you are a complete novice ,
or looking to complete an instructors
qualification, we'll ensure
you enjoy your diving in a safe
and comfortable environment.
With
all the dive sites here off
Mantaray Island Resort, there's
plenty for every level of ability,
certification and experience.
Whether you've done 600 dives
or have just passed your Open
Water Course, there's plenty
for you to choose from and it
doesn’t matter if you’re
an early bird, a late riser,
or a night owl - we're ready
for you whenever you want to
hit the water! We do a single
or two tank dive in the morning,
an additional afternoon dive(s)
if required, and night dives
are available on request. All
dives are guided by a local
diver to navigate you through
the dive site, pointing out
creatures or items of interest.
If you haven't dived in a while,
or still feel a little inexperienced
you may want to consider doing
a beach dive and/or, having
an Instructor with you to ease
yourself back in. We can update
your skills, and do a short
refresher to bring you back
up to date.
As many as 7,000 different fish
species live on coral reefs
or nearby inshore habitats,
with up to maybe 300 different
types inhabiting a small plot
of reef. Fiji also has a couple
of residents unique only to
Fiji, including the Bicolour
Rabbitfish, and Black Rabbitfish
with gentle eyes but sharp dorsal
spines it can raise if threatened.
This Rabbitfish has a yellow
tail and is rarely seen out
of a pair.
The
Yasawa group of islands has
fewer crowds and fewer dive
boats. This chain of ancient
volcanic islands offers excellent
corals, pristine reefs and good
visibility, not to mention some
superb topside backdrops.
With
over 40 dive sites available
at Mantaray Island Resort, we'll
always find the perfect dive
for you.
