Western
Samoa has proved to be one of the last undiscovered
frontiers for wonderful uncrowded diving.
With warm, clear waters offering visibility
of between 15 and 50 metres and temperatures
ranging from 25 to 30 degrees Centigrade,
a wet suit is not required.
Numerous sites including scenic walls, canyons
and reefs are home to colourful tropical fish
and schools of trevally, tuna, turtles and
lion fish as well as a variety of hard and
soft corals such as brain, mushroom and plate
corals.
Most
diving at sites located inside and outside
the reef is shore based from boats. One interesting
dive and snorkelling site is Palolo Deep Marine
reserve at Vaiala Beach which is almost like
an aquarium for free divers and is very safe,
especially for inexperienced divers.
Samoa
is an excellent destination to learn to dive
or advance your diving skills. There are two
full dive operators, based on the island of
Upolu. Pacific Quest Divers, based at Coconuts
on the south side of the island, an active
member of PADI, PIRA and DAN, offers a full
range of certificates. Squama Divers, based
in Apia, has a training program that includes
PADI, IDEA and DIA certification. Both operators
have rental equipment and night diving is
available on request.
