Fiji Weather
Cooler winter water temperatures in Fiji are behind us now and the temperature is beginning to rise. La Nina brings warmer than normal water to Fiji and the data this year reflects that. The hard coral cover in central Fiji, damaged by Cyclone Winston in 2016, has recovered magnificently and is the best I've seen it in nearly 30 years! NAI'A divers doing four or more dives a day are bulking up on the neoprene with 5mm the minimum and hooded vests a nice addition.
