Fiji Changed the Way I Think About Reef Diving
As you may have seen,
DWF just got back from a 10-day familiarization trip to Volivoli Beach Resort in Fiji.
I take these scouting trips so yours is smoother, better organized, and genuinely worth the time and money it takes to get there.
Before I went, I’d heard the same thing everyone hears about Fiji,
The soft coral capital of the world.
Big claim. So I went to see for myself.
It wasn’t hype. Volivoli delivers the kind of color, reef life, and wide-angle “how is this even real?” diving that sticks with you long after you’re home.
Weeks later, I still found myself thinking about specific dives, specific reefs, and specific moments underwater.
That’s why I’m taking a group back.

Is This Trip Right For You?
This trip is a great fit if:
- You’re a certified diver who wants truly world-class reef diving
- You enjoy small groups and unrushed dive days
- You want a resort that balances great diving with real downtime
- You’re traveling with or are a non-diver who wants a real vacation too
This trip may not be your best fit if:
- You’re looking for the cheapest way to get to Fiji
- You prefer party-first travel over dive-focused travel
- You want your very first dives to be close to home
Why Travel With Dive With Frank?
Anyone can sell you a dive trip. That’s not the hard part.
What matters is how the trip actually feels once you’re there.
I take these trips seriously because I’ve been on both sides.
I’ve been the excited diver.
I’ve been the frustrated traveler.
I’ve been the one thinking, “This could have been so much better if someone had planned this right.”
That’s why I scout locations personally, build small groups, and stay involved from the first questions to the last dive.
My job is to take the guesswork out, smooth out the rough edges, and make sure the diving and the downtime are both worth the trip.
You won’t be herded onto boats.
You won’t be rushed through dives.
You won’t be wondering what’s next or who to ask.
If you’ve traveled or trained with me before, you already know how this works.
If you haven’t, this trip is a pretty good introduction.
