PADI Speciality Courses
PADI Deep Diver
We believe the Great White Wall is most impressive at a depth of about 35 meters. With the right timing you can get this perfect wide angle view of the white soft corals covering the wall from 20 meters deep down to 60 meters. To do this safely here and on other spots around the world that are just a bit deeper, expand your limits with the Deep Dive Speciality course that qualifies you to dive to a depth of 40 meters.

PADI Drift Diver
Drift diving can be relaxing and exhilarating. The course teaches you how to enjoy going with the flow as you scuba dive down rivers and use ocean currents to glide along. At Dive Academy Fiji we also show you how to use a current hook to safely enjoy the action around you while not harming the reef.
PADI Digital Underwater Photography
Do you want to share your underwater experience with non-divers or just capture the moments for yourself? This course takes you through the basics of underwater photography: light and colours, composition and handling of your camera.

PADI Dry Suit Diver
Fed up with freezing during or after your dives? Take a course with Jone, probably the only Fijian Dry Suit Instructor. The dry suit allows for wearing warm undergarment, provides an extra insulation layer of air and keeps you dry, so no freezing on the surface when you get out of your suit. As a dry suit diver there is a whole new world for you to discover in non-tropical waters.

PADI Night Diver
Same site - completely different experience. At night day creatures retire and nocturnal animals emerge: eels swim freely, lobsters and crabs come out of their holes. It´s fascinating to see a whole new world and lush of colours enlightend by your dive torch. This course prepares you for the additional safety required and takes you to your very first night experience

Peak Performance Buoyancy
Buoyancy is the key to relaxed, stress-free diving. At the beginning of your dive career you might struggle with getting it right, especially when you dive under different conditions using different conditions. After this course you will have the feeling of being in control as you have learned how to master your buoyancy by optimising your trim, regulating the air in your BCD and fine-tune with your breathing.
