Barefoot Kuata Reef Shark Introductory Dive

Departing each morning at 08:30 on board catamaran - Yasawa Flyer II operated by Awesome Adventures Fiji from Denarau Marina.

You will travel through the scenic group of islands called the Mamanuca to the gateway of the Yasawa islands and our island home - Barefoot Kuata.

Arriving on shore, you will be greeted by our friendly resort staff with a big BULA welcome song and fresh tropical drink followed by a brief of the layout of the resort, facilities available to you, paid/ free activities that are scheduled for the day.

During your welcome briefing, you will be advised by your Dive Crew as to what time you will depart the resort to your dive site that will give you an experience never to be forgotten.

Meet your Dive Instructor at your scheduled time and during your briefing, you will complete your medical and assessment form.  During this time you will be given a safety briefing and fitted with all of your dive equipment.  Now for the fun stuff – board the dive boat for a 20-minute ride to Moiya Reef home of the White Tip and Black Tip Reef Sharks.

Once you arrive at Moiya Reef your instructor will guide you slowly to our beautiful reef.  You will start with your instructor holding your hand and will continue this as long as you need to feel comfortable.  If you are a bit nervous they will hold your hand for the entire dive.

If you are a bit more comfortable the instructor will give you more freedom while staying nice and close. The general depth of an introductory dive will range between one and six meters. Our staff are famously patient and will give you a magnificent experience. 

Non-swimmer and Children over 10 years old are welcome.

We don't guarantee guests will see reef shark sighting however we haven’t been disappointed yet.
