Ultimate Diving Launches New Beach Resort in Fiji

Published

on

Ultimate Diving has just added a wonderfully relaxed beach resort located in a truly unspoiled and spectacular corner of Fiji where life is simply sun, fun and water sports. Volivoli Beach is the absolute perfect spot for scuba divers where the blend of white sandy beaches complement the corals reefs that surround the Bligh Waters just off Rakiraki.  Known as one of the healthiest areas in the world, the Bligh Waters are home to very little pollution, a few boats and a great deal of water movement resulting on incredibly nutrient-rich waters. This area was named after the famous sea captain Bligh and here you will find an array of marine life including anemone fish, turtles, reef sharks, hammerhead sharks, rays and an abundance of colour and pristine conditions.

7 nights at the Volivoli Beach starts from as little as £2699 per person in May and June 2014 including international flights from the UK via Los Angeles, return transfers, accommodation on B&B basis and 5 days diving. Book before the 15th December and get an additional £100.00 off per person by quoting “Dive Blight Waters” when you call a member of the Ultimate Diving team. Volivoli Beach is also the ideal location if you are looking at combining a week of hardcore diving aboard the luxurious S/Y Fiji Siren departing from the resort’s jetty with some relaxing time prior and after the liveaboard trip.

To enquire or book give the Ultimate Diving team a call on +44 (0)208 655 6452.

Published

on

With the sporty RF-40 open-heel fin by DYNAMICNORD, you enjoy maximum effectiveness and fun. The innovative design guarantees ease and power – exactly what every diver wants.

Designed and engineered in Germany. Made in Europe.

The RF-40 open-heel fin delivers. Its harder blade will especially delight sporty divers.

The powerful blade of the RF-40 fin and its dynamic design with innovative water channels allow to perform both technical and recreational kicks with maximum propulsion. The power is efficiently transmitted from the foot pocket and sole to the blade for outstanding kick stability and manoeuvrability. With the RF-40 fin, sporty divers are guaranteed to have a blast underwater.

The foot pocket of the open-heel fin is comfortable, and the smart bungee strap enables to make small length adjustments without using any tools. This way, the fin can be used with neoprene boots or with a drysuit. The heel pad has a large finger loop that is easy to grasp even when wearing gloves, making donning and doffing the fin a breeze.

The RF-40 fins are available from DYNAMICNORD dealers in six great colours.

Recommended sales price: £127.00

Sizes: M-XL

Colours: Blue, grey, orange, purple, red, yellow
