The waidroka bay resort was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I was fortunate to come across this incredibly beautiful place through my PADI certification. Not only did I feel thoroughly cared for from the moment I reached out (2 days before arrival), but the staff’s attentiveness and support began before I arrived. Giving me suggestions on places to complete my PADI confined pool dives prior to arrival. Once at Waidroka, the scenary and grounds are well-kept and located on a gorgeous bay/inlet. Everyone was so kind and attentive to me. From checking in to checking out, it was the perfect trip. I completed my PADI cert with Jamie as my instructor. She was caring, supportive and reassuring, always giving me the belief that I could complete the dives. So much so, that the day after I completed my cert, I did the shark dives at Pacific Harbour nearby! Although Jamie was my instructor, I interacted daily and had wonderful conversations and received great tips from everyone at the resort from Ops Managers (Beth and Sandy) to other instructors (Grant, Tim, Simi). Jim was our boat captain, and i had the utmost respect for his ability to guide us to the appropriate dive site. I learned so much about medicinal plants in the area with our medicine walk, fijian culture with Taniela, and how to effectively dive with the whole dive team. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were expertly prepared, and the food was perfectly cooked. Special shoutout to the chefs at the incredible 3 course dinners we received and the best tomato bisque I have ever had. I would strongly recommend looking at Waidroka Bay Resort if you are looking to dive or surf in Fiji, what an unbelievable experience and entire staff at the resort.
