Go Snorkeling

a woman snorkeling in fijiIn Fiji, for those of you who are either too lazy to do a diving course, or too scared to delve any
lower than swimming pool depths, why not try snorkeling?

It's pretty cheap compared to diving, safer and easier and all you need is a mask, snorkel
and fins. Oh and being able to swim without armbands will help.

You probably won't come across quite the same incredible species that divers do, but
you'll still see loads of colourful fish and amazing hard and soft corals.

Experts advise against snorkeling off places like Nadi and the Coral Coast on the basis
that, well it's crap there.

They do, however, suggest Natadola Beach, Beqa Lagoon and Nananu-I-Ra as the top
ones on Vitu Levu.

The Mamanucas and Yasawas also offer superb reefs with plenty of hard coral, while the
rocky coastline of Mumu's Resort on Vanau Levu is a real treat.

Vunu Reef on Tavenui is another highlight, and Matava and Astrolabe Hideaway Resort
are among the top spots in the Kaduva Island group.
