点评:If there was more than 5 stars to give to Dive Fiji, we would give them without any hesitation. We are a dive master and a scuba instructor with 1500 + dives each, made all around the world, and we wanted to discover the Astrolabe reef and Oneta resort during our holidays. We did 7 dives with Dive Fiji and what we experienced here was way above our expectations. We have been living the diver’s dream for those past few days and just wish we had more time there.
Marine life: We have had luck to dive with many different friendly white tip and grey reef sharks on every dive and even saw a tiger shark on one of the sites up north. We swam with schools of curious yellow fin and big eyed barracudas, turtles, mantas, eagle rays, several spanish macquerels, tunas and many other fishes. We saw dolphins on the way to one of the dives and even swam with pilot whales. Nice spot for macro as well, we saw many nudibranchs and several dragon worms. There is an amazing variety of hard and soft coral, extremely healthy and colorful, as well as many different species of anemonnes.
Dive sites and topography: Most of the sites are located about 30/40 min away from the resort in every direction. They have countless dive sites, we have done 7 dives, but we could do so many more and still have much to discover. Their dive map is gigantic. You can dive walls, caves, swim throughs, pinnacles, etc. They do 2 tanks with one hour surface interval in between dives.
Season, water temperature and visibility: Manta Rays, Hammerheads and more pelagic fishes are common from June until October, when the water gets colder (24 Celsius) and the winds come mostly from the east. But we were there in March and we saw mantas already, many sharks and other fishes named above. The seas are very calm and this is the end of the rainy season. We are very happy we choose to come in March. Water is 29 degrees Celsius and visibility is between 25 and 60 meters.
Boats and equipment: Dive Fiji have 2 large dive boats that could easily accomodate 10+ divers but they choose to limit the boat capacity to 6 people and 2 guides. They are equipped with 2x 115 horse power engines. We had the whole boat and crew for ourselves for most of our dives! We brought our own equipment but theirs is in excellent shape, looking new and the instructor Bill, is also a SCUBA technician who maintains the gear to the highest standards.
Guides: We were guided by « Bill Gates » and Bill, very friendly people with great knowledge of the local seas and dive sites. Captain Siko is very skilled, professional and kind as well. Between every dive they had a cooler full of drinks and snacks available.
The resort: Oneta is just a little paradise on Earth, pure Fiji, with amazing people. The resort is completely eco friendly and they have a foundation that supports a lot of projects for the environement and the communities. Our favorite resort in the world so far :)
We can’t wait to be back and we certainly recommend to live the Dive Fiji experience.
翻译:如果有超过 5 颗星可以给 Dive Fiji,我们会毫不犹豫地给他们。我们是一名潜水大师和一名潜水教练,每人都有 1500 多次潜水,在世界各地进行,我们想在假期期间探索 Astrolabe 礁石和 Oneta 度假村。我们在 Dive Fiji 进行了 7 次潜水,我们在这里的体验远远超出了我们的预期。在过去的几天里,我们一直在实现潜水员的梦想,只希望我们有更多的时间在那里。
海洋生物:我们有幸在每次潜水时与许多不同的友好白鳍鲨和灰礁鲨一起潜水,甚至在北部的一个地点看到了虎鲨。我们与成群结队的好奇的黄鳍和大眼梭鱼、海龟、蝠鲼、鹰鳐、几只西班牙鲭鱼、金枪鱼和许多其他鱼类一起游泳。我们在去其中一次潜水的路上看到了海豚,甚至还和领航鲸一起游泳。微距拍摄的好地方,我们看到了许多海兔和几只龙虫。这里有种类繁多的硬珊瑚和软珊瑚,极其健康且色彩缤纷,还有许多不同种类的海葵。
潜水地点和地形:大多数地点距离度假村的各个方向大约 30/40 分钟。他们有无数的潜水地点,我们已经进行了 7 次潜水,但我们可以进行更多的潜水,而且还有很多东西有待发现。他们的潜水地图很大。您可以潜水墙壁、洞穴、游过、尖峰等。他们在两次潜水之间进行 2 个水箱,水面间隔为 1 小时。
季节、水温和能见度:蝠鲼、双髻鲨和更多远洋鱼类在 6 月至 10 月期间很常见,此时海水变冷(24 摄氏度),风主要来自东方。但我们三月份到那儿时就已经看到蝠鲼、许多鲨鱼和上面提到的其他鱼类。海面非常平静,这是雨季的结束。我们很高兴我们选择在三月份来。水温为 29 摄氏度,能见度在 25 到 60 米之间。
船和设备:Dive Fiji 有 2 艘大型潜水船,可以轻松容纳 10 名以上的潜水员,但他们选择将船的容量限制为 6 人和 2 名向导。它们配备了 2 个 115 马力的发动机。在我们的大部分潜水中,我们都有自己的整艘船和船员!我们带来了自己的设备,但他们的设备状况良好,看起来很新,而且教练 Bill 也是一名 SCUBA 技术员,他按照最高标准维护设备。
指南:我们在“比尔·盖茨”和比尔的指导下,他们非常友善,对当地的海洋和潜水地点了如指掌。 Siko 船长技术娴熟、专业且友善。在每次潜水之间,他们都有一个装满饮料和小吃的冷藏箱。
度假村:Oneta 是地球上的一个小天堂,纯净的斐济,拥有令人惊叹的人们。该度假村是完全生态友好的,他们有一个支持许多环境和社区项目的基金会。到目前为止,我们在世界上最喜欢的度假村 :)
我们迫不及待地想回来,我们当然推荐体验 Dive Fiji。
