Wilderness Medicine CME Fiji Multi-Sport and SCUBA Adventure

This exciting Wilderness and Marine Medicine continuing medical education (CME) course takes place in the secluded Fiji Island Paradise of Beqa (pronounced “Benga”).

Surrounded by one of the world’s largest and most spectacular barrier reefs, Beqa is rich and untouched. Beqa lagoon is actually an extinct volcano crater, and the 40-mile ring reef has formed on the lip of the old crater. It is home to one of the greatest displays of soft corals and sea fans in the world. Fiji is often called the “Soft Coral Capital of the World”.

Diving these calm protected waters is like exploring another world. The water is clear and warm, visibility is often over 100 feet, currents are generally mild, and the water temperature stays near a fairly constant 80 degrees.

The excellent dive staff at Beqa Lagoon Resort will help you discover the incredible marine life that abounds in these waters – fantastic coral and invertebrates, Blue Ribbon Eels, Clown Triggers, Lion Fish, Leaf Scorpions, Reef Sharks and millions of colorful Anthias and Fusiliers.

Behind the Beqa Lagoon resort the land slopes gently upward into a tropical forest. Nearby are beautiful fresh water streams and waterfalls. Tropical flowers bloom everywhere, and the tables at the resort are always filled with fresh cuttings.

Dive pristine reefs to discover rich marine life and beautiful coral gardens. Enjoy fun-filled days snorkeling, swimming or kayaking the warm waters of the blue lagoon. Hike to beautiful waterfalls, or spend an exciting afternoon deep sea fishing. Beqa is also a bird watching haven with the largest varieties of birds in Fiji. You can end the day relaxing in a hammock overlooking the sea or by lounging in the infinity pool.

Booking Flights (review prior to booking):

You will need to make your own R/T travel arrangements from home to Nadi International Airport (NAN) in Fiji. Nadi is located on the west side of the main island of Viti Levu.

Many clients choose the direct Fiji Airways flights from Los Angeles to Nadi (FJ811 from LAX- NAN / FJ810 from NAN-LAX), which takes about 11 hours. You will cross the international dateline traveling from the US to Fiji (“Day One” of our trip, is the day to arrive NAN in Fiji). Please schedule your flight home from Fiji to depart no earlier than 2:00 PM.

You will take both a ground and water transfer to Beqa Island. Ground transfers are provided from NAN to the ferry dock at 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM. It takes about 2 1⁄2 hours driving along the beautiful coral coast by vehicle.

The boat transfers to the island depart the ferry dock at 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM, and take about 45 minutes. You will make a wet landing when you arrive, needing to wade into water possibly calf deep. Please dress accordingly. The staff will handle your luggage and assist with registration.

If you miss the last transfer from NAN to the ferry dock at 2:00 PM, you will need to stay at a hotel nearby the airport at your expense, and be picked up the next day for the transfer to the resort. Some hotel options are Tokatoka Resort, Fiji Gateway Hotel, Nalagi, Tanoa, and Novotel Nadi. If this occurs, please contact Bio Bio Expeditions and Beqa Lagoon Resort.
