The Cousteau name is synonymous with scuba diving. When Jean-Michel Cousteau chose to attach his name to a resort in Fiji, the location was always going to have exceptional dive sites nearby.

One of the many stupendous dive sites near to Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort Fiji is Namena Marine Reserve, widely considered to be one of the top-10 dive sites in the world. Famed for its thousands of species of fish, invertebrates and hundreds of species of corals and marine plants, Namena is a migratory pathway for cetaceans where you may encounter species such as bottlenose and spinner dolphins, or pilot, minke, sperm, and humpback whales. Namena Marine Reserve is home to the only known humpback whale calving site in Fiji and the beaches of Namenalala are a significant nesting site for endangered hawksbill and green sea turtles.

Namena was established as a Marine Reserve in 1997 and life has flourished over its approximately seventy square kilometer protection zone. Because of its vastness, there are many excellent places to dive, each meaningfully different from one another and this means you’ll want to visit Namena with those most familiar with its secrets and many hidden treasures. Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort’s team of dive instructors and dive masters know these sites intimately and are the best qualified to show you the unparalleled beauty and abundance.
