Plankton1 Posted August 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Hello--I'll be taking a cross-Pacific cruise in a few weeks and am frustrated trying to find information about dive operators in Fiji and New Caledonia that can accommodate us during our brief stay on the islands. Many shops are either too far away or don't seem to be available for the times/days we need. Any suggestions about either would be appreciated. In particular, too many shops seem too far from the port at Lautoka, Fiji and there just isn't much info on the internet about diving New Caledonia to know if it's even worth doing. Thanks for ANY help! Edited August 16, 2014 by Plankton1 misspelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie S. Posted August 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2014 We're diving in Suva and I made that contact on Scubaboard. I really tried to set something up for New Caledonia, but all the dive boats leave at 8 am and we don't get in until 9 am. So, my rollcall group has a private tour to Escapade Island for some beach time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plankton1 Posted August 17, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted August 17, 2014 My boat doesn't arrive until 10am--so it looks like I'm stuck like you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petef28 Posted September 3, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2014 If the ship stops at Isle of Pines or Lifou you wii enjoy scuba diving there especially Isle of Pines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic555 Posted September 3, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2014 If your ship has an excursion to Amadee Island there is scuba available there. On our cruise the weather cancelled this excursion and we went to Duck Island instead for some decent snorkeling, if you go to Duck Island there is no reason to book in advance. At the pier there are vendors selling the tour which includes the bus to the water taxi for the 5 minute ride to the island Chairs and umbrellas available for rent on the island. A lot of broken coral on the beach so bring water shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
