When you’re planning a trip to Fiji, maybe as part of a longer trip to Australia or New Zealand, you might be asking yourself “when is the best time to visit Fiji”? The short answer is - anytime!. But depending on what you’re looking for in your Fiji holiday, one season might be better for you than another.

Sometimes you just get lucky and today was one of those days. We were staying at the beautiful Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort and guess who should pitch up for the dive but the man himself Jean-Michel Cousteau. Considering he only gets to the resort one week per year, our timing couldn’t have been better. One of the best dives I've had in Fiji!

One good thing about heading our way for the festive season. We never have a white Christmas and the majority of our New Years Eve Parties are on a beach!

For those planning a holiday in the South Pacific between December 2011 and March 2012 it’s going to be a great time to be here for a summer holiday.

A long, hot, dry summer is on the way thanks to a returning La Nina weather pattern. Scientists say this year's La Nina is weaker than last year's so temperatures may not quite reach the highs of last summer which is probably a good thing….

In New Zealand Last summer was a record-breaker with heatwaves creating the hottest February on record for Auckland and Nelson.

The Bull Sharks of Beqa - Shark Diving Fiji with no cage!

It was a balmy 29 degrees, last Saturday afternoon on Fiji’s Coral Coast. We hadn’t been in the dive boat for more then 20 minutes when we arrived at the site. This was my third attempt to dive with the famous Bull sharks of Beqa Lagoon; last years efforts were foiled by foul weather and bad visibility. Now that we were kitted up and on the water there was no turning back. I (Brent) must admit, for a nanosecond, a flood of doubt surged through my mind - “OMG! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ABOUT TO DO!”
