Taveuni Dive Resort

Had an amazing time at TDR! Felt like part of the family. Excellent diving, clean and food was lovely

非常棒的地方！放鬆潛水 渡假 按摩，多年後二刷 感覺這幾年的時光在這裡似乎不存在，跟多年前的印象一樣，物價不變（超難得）！含三餐 食物很美味！值得推薦！

This is our 5th visit to Taveuni Dive And its like coming home. The diving is sublime! The accommodation is 8 x 2 person Bure's. The resort has 4 reasonably sized boats (normally 2 go out) but never over fills them. With a full resort and several snorkellers, the biggest crowd on our 14-person rated vessel was 5 divers ( with 2 guides) and 2 snorkellers ( with a guide). Each bure is located in its own really colourful garden. There are external showers between each pair of rooms, each with multiple drying racks for wet gear. The day starts with a 7am breakfast, by 8, you've wandered the short walk down to the boat. Your gear will be set up, waiting for you. Out we go, 15 minutes or so to the duve sites. Once all the divers are out of the water, it's off to a secluded site for our surface interval. With fresh fruit, muffins, water & hot chocolate. A towel is also provided. After the second dive, it's back to the resort, a short walk, then wash your wetsuit & camera, fetch your room key, shower and up for lunch. A 3rd dive is available if you wish. We didn't. The food is varied, and always good. Muffins or cake is available between meals with tea, coffee, filtered water or cold tea always available. Of course, there is a bar as well. We're already planning next year's trip!

This is a first class dive resort. Very nice bungalows, excellent restaurant, spotless pool, nice dive boats, nitrox available, top-notch divemasters and boat crew. We typically dove with 3-4 person groups, two groups on a boat, and had many 60+ minute dives. It was wonderful to see healthy and vibrant reefs. We saw many small fish, whitetip sharks, and some big mantas, but very few morays or turtles. The dive crew knew likely spots for mantas, and we were lucky enough to see them on multiple dives. The resort staff was absolutely wonderful, kind and thoughtful in every way. The restaurant deserves special mention -- two choices for each meal, or order from a simple menu if that doesn't work for you. They went above and beyond to accommodate difficult diet restrictions (celiac or vegetarian). While the resort is relaxed, the dive boats leave on time; if all the divers were on the boat, we often left a few minutes early. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I rented a BCD and regulator - they worked perfectly. The resort is off-grid, but their excellent power system means it won't ever inconvenience you (ask for a tour and learn how it works).

We just spent 2 weeks in February at the Taveuni Dive Resort. I cannot say enough good things about it. It was run exceptionally well. The staff at the resort as well as the diving staff were attentive to all our needs. The resort was very clean and well managed. The food was good and plentiful. There was always coffee, tea (both hot and cold) and cookies available. The diving was spectacular. The white wall was breath taking. Hal, the dive master, made sure our dives were safe and fun. Most of our surface intervals were on a lovely beach where we could get off the boat and just play in the water. While we were there, we had a category 3 cyclone. The staff was amazing and took it in stride. They set up the dive shop as a dining area and served our meals to us there. Even in the midst of a hurricane they made sure we were well taken care of. Carl and his wife Muriel own the resort. They were always available to answer any of our questions and help with anything we might need. Jon was the man we talked to on the phone about all our arrangements. He was easy and fun to work with. We are definitely planning on going back and we would highly recommend this dive resort.

In February I was blessed to return to Taveuni Dive Resort (TDR) after a great time in May 2022. Carl and Muriel still have a top-notch resort, and take a personal interest in every part of the operation. They should be very pleased. My bure was just so comfortable, and even in Feb, the lack of A/C was never an issue; the evening breezes did the job beautifully. And it was kept spotlessly for my whole stay. Housekeeping do a great job each day. I was there to dive, and under the superb personal management of Hal, the dive team are a fantastic group. Captain Jerry knows the surrounding waters better than anyone, and the crew, including my old friend Lui, plus Joe, George, Dee and Eroni ensured every dive was a great experience. Gear was always clean and ready to go, and you could tell the focus was on both ensuring memorable dives and safety. But it's the hospitality that always shines thru, and ALL the staff are worth their weight in gold! Tia, Katerina, Emelia (does she ever have a day off??), KiKi, (and everyone I have missed) proved yet again that Fijians are the happiest, most hospitable people on earth. For the second time, I didn't get to taste the pizza that the Salty Fox is so well known for; I guess I will just have to return for a third visit, so I can try it! I can't wait!
