Hi there,

Spring is here, Daylight Saving has started and the long hot Summer days are on their way. 

Meanwhile, the forecast for our South Pacific and Asian neighbours is for blue skies and a balmy high of 28º, with water temperatures around 27º and underwater viz of 25 –35 metres. Expect an icy cold beverage to appear around sunset, and a candlelit table to keep you warm for al fresco dining in the evenings.

We are lucky in NZ and Australia to have so many of the World’s best diving and tropical holiday locations only a short flight away. We know that hundreds of our clients managed to escape our gloomy Winter to recharge their batteries, soak up some sun, enjoy some fantastic tropical diving and use up that extra week of holiday.

Spring into action now and plan your own inspiring dive holiday for next winter. The best time to dive in the South Pacific is July – early November, and the best time to plan for next year is NOW! You know what they say – the early bird gets the best deals!

But, if you just can’t wait until next Winter, the diving is phenomenal in the South Pacific right now, and there’s still space available on most dive boats and in many dive Resorts. So get there now!

In fact we have some great Exclusive one off packages just for Dive Fish Snow Travel Clients for these coming months.

Fiji's best kept secret - Raki Raki

Raki Raki

Rakiraki is Fiji’s best-kept secret.  It’s location on the northern tip of Fiji’s main Island, Viti Levu, offers seclusion, peace and quiet, far away from mainstream Fijian resorts - an island paradise with the convenience of the mainland.

A great reason to visit this delightful piece of Fijian paradise is the top quality diving. The Ra (or West) waters are world renowned for the quality of fish life, an abundance of colour and pristine conditions and Voli Voli Beach Resort itself is a dedicated Dive resort with accommodation options to allow all budgets to experience this magical piece of paradise.

Congratulations to Jude Bishell, Blenheim, winner of the prize pack. Your prize pack is on it's way.

The avid diver knows the advantages of going on a tropical dive holiday:

  • Remote unspoiled reefs,
  • Superior marine life like mantas and eagle rays or big schools of fish,
  • Underwater photography of the colourful critter that make their homes in the kaleidoscopic tapestry of coral reefs,
  • A great adrenalin rush of sharks and shark feed dives.
  • Snorkelling in cobalt blue waters and getting up close and personal with a humpback whale and her newborn calf,
  • Exploring WWII wrecks, planes and subs,
  • exciting drift and wall dives with bottomless drop offs.

There’s much more to diving overseas: You’ll find well run professional dive resorts where the focus is on YOU, and getting you Down Under every day, where the weather and water conditions are perfect for diving just about every day.

But wait; there’s more!….

suitableNon Diving Partner: An increasing number of our clients these days are heading to dive resorts that cater for non diving partners. Indulge in your passion during the day, and romance your partner by night.

Families: Many Dive Resorts are family friendly. While you’re out diving, the kids are being cared for at Kids Clubs and having a fantastic time. And teenagers are picking up the sport of diving in warm tropical waters that will spark a life long passion underwater.

myth bustersMany divers feel that to go on an exciting dive holiday you need to be a real “gung-ho” diver with thousands of logged dives. Well, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Diving in the Tropics is made easy with warm water (so you can wear lighter wetsuits), great viz, and experienced dive teams around you to ensure you are diving within your limits and safety. Many of the best dives overseas are shallow, coral gardens and some wrecks close to the surface, so they are suitable for beginners. And you are never going to find the amazing array of corals, WWII wrecks and tropical marine life like this
