Why does Fiji have the World's Best Diving?

Fiji Weather
After a very unusual three consecutive events, La Nina is officially over in the central Pacific. Fiji's water temperature hovered at its historical maximum during the end of last year and was beginning to approach coral-bleaching temperature at the beginning of this year. Fortunately for us, three cyclones passed close enough to Fiji to suck much of the excess heat out of the ocean without causing any damage ashore. (Our friends in Vanuatu were not so fortunate, suffering two cyclones and two earthquakes over two days in February!) The water temperature now is back in neutral territory. Even though the water is comfortably warm, NAI'A divers doing four or five dives a day still usually wear full wetsuits.
