Lau Islands
An expedition to the Lau Islands — Fiji’s eastern archipelago and one of the least visited regions in the country. This remote island group has preserved pristine coral reefs and traditional Fijian way of life, virtually untouched by mass dive tourism.
The Lau Archipelago includes dozens of volcanic and coral islands with diverse underwater landscapes — from outer reef walls to lagoon gardens. Distance from main routes ensures minimal presence of other divers and the opportunity to explore little-studied sites. An expedition format with long crossings between islands.

Best Season
May to October is the dry season, with the clearest water and the calmest sea. November to April is warmer and greener but brings rain and cyclones; the Yasawa mantas are around from May to October
Visa
Russian citizens need no visa: a visitor permit for up to four months is issued on arrival. A return ticket and a passport valid for six months are required. Check the transit visas of your connection — the route almost always runs through Australia, New Zealand, South Korea or the USA.
