* Kai Viti Divers is highly recommended as a diving
operation that offers exceptional service to a beautiful but little-dived
area of Fiji. The owners, Julie & Mike Trussell, have many
years of experience diving in Fiji and have found many new and
exciting dive sites in Bligh Water off the north coast of the
main island of Viti Levu. The smiling staff is professional and
helpful and this made the diving a joy. They are helpful with
special needs and make the experience as smooth as possible. Wall,
pinnacle, and bommie diving are available and the colorful soft
corals, for which Fiji is famous, are in abundance at most of
their sites. Clouds of anthias hover over the bommies.
Their fast boat, the Adi Nunu, is comfortable and well-built for
the purpose of diving. The dives are well-planned but not regimented.
Dives are drift dives or at anchor on moorings. Pelagics such
as tuna, jacks, barracuda, sharks, and manta rays are often sighted
on the wall dives. As can be seen by these photos, the macro life
is abundant and interesting and the wide angle opportunities are
fantastic!
