Diving
at Mantaray
Stunning
coral gardens, spectacular swim throughs, amazing reef walls and over
a thousand species of marine life are just some of the things you're
likely to experience diving in the Yasawa's.
Mantaray
Island Resort is located 70km from the mainland and is the only dive
operator in the Naviti group of the Yasawa's. Over 40 dive sites are
accessible within 20 minutes cruising from the resort. Having such
a large variety of dives sites ensure divers are able to continue
to enjoy pristine marine environments with very little or no impact
from other divers.
Whether
you are a complete novice , or looking to complete an instructors
qualification, we'll ensure you enjoy your diving in a safe and comfortable
environment.
With
all the dive sites here off Mantaray Island Resort, there's plenty
for every level of ability, certification and experience. Whether
you've done 600 dives or have just passed your Open Water Course,
there's plenty for you to choose from and it doesn’t matter if
you’re an early bird, a late riser, or a night owl - we're ready
for you whenever you want to hit the water! We do a single or two
tank dive in the morning, an additional afternoon dive(s) if required,
and night dives are available on request. All dives are guided by
a local diver to navigate you through the dive site, pointing out
creatures or items of interest. If you haven't dived in a while, or
still feel a little inexperienced you may want to consider doing a
beach dive and/or, having an Instructor with you to ease yourself
back in. We can update your skills, and do a short refresher to bring
you back up to date.
As many as 7,000 different fish species live on coral reefs or nearby
inshore habitats, with up to maybe 300 different types inhabiting
a small plot of reef. Fiji also has a couple of residents unique only
to Fiji, including the Bicolour Rabbitfish, and Black Rabbitfish with
gentle eyes but sharp dorsal spines it can raise if threatened. This
Rabbitfish has a yellow tail and is rarely seen out of a pair.
The
Yasawa group of islands has fewer crowds and fewer dive boats. This
chain of ancient volcanic islands offers excellent corals, pristine
reefs and good visibility, not to mention some superb topside backdrops.
With
over 40 dive sites available at Mantaray Island Resort, we'll always
find the perfect dive for you.
Mantaray
offers daily 1 and 2 tank dives, night dives and dive classes including
Introductory Dives, Advanced, Stress and Rescue and Divemaster.
