We offer courses for first-time divers through PADI Divemaster. We are family owned and operated and have been diving as a family for over 25 years. As avid scuba divers, freedivers, fishermen, and surfers, our goal is to share our contagious passion for the ocean with every guest.

We are licensed, insured PADI Instructors (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) with more than 15 years of teaching experience. Our PADI diving programs cater to all experience levels from first time "chicken" divers to the most advanced certified divers who are looking for thrilling currents with more challenging conditions.

Our Priorities

Safety and protection of the marine environment are our top priorities. Safety requires knowledge, skills, practice, investment in equipment, and constant maintenance and improvement. We take no shortcuts. When you choose Taveuni Ocean Sports, you can be confident that you will dive, snorkel, or surf with the best-equipped and safest dive company on Taveuni. We're proud of a perfect safety record during more than 15 years as dive operators.

We protect the marine environment through our actions and policies and by educating clients and Taveuni children about marine conservation. We participate in the Reefcheck Research Program to collect the data needed to halt the decline of the world's fragile reef environment and actively support PADI's Project Aware foundation.

Our Approach to Diving

We:

• guarantee small groups of never more than four divers per instructor

• provide detailed safety briefings, including a map of each dive site with explanations of local currents, depth, dive computer use, dive profile, separation procedures, and dive vessel procedures

• are truly passionate about diving and our owners are in the water 5-7 days per week, along with our excellent crew

• provide detailed marine biology briefings about Fiji's underwater ecology including many types of symbiosis unique to Fiji

• carry the latest, best, most comprehensive equipment, including emergency oxygen, marine first aid kits, lifejackets, VHF radio, flares, GPS/Sonar, and fire fighting equipment

• run a reef ecology program called the Taveuni Reef Rangers with local children teaching them to scuba dive and preserve the marine environment. Kids learn how to protect coral reefs and keep coastal areas litter free.
