Questions About Beqa Lagoon

[ezglyder]

Hi All,
Has anyone been diving in Fiji during mid November? I'd like to know what the water temperature is and if there are box jellyfish present. Any information along these lines will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Looks like no-one has dived it in November - I was there in early Ocotber - water temp about 25C or around 77F. No sign of jelly fish or other nasties. Have a good time.

Thank You Alison and Pappa Bear. Your input makes it much easier to pack for the trip.
Since I know I won't need a 5mm and stinger suit, I can get all my gear in a carry-on and a backpack. 9 more days I'll post a report when I get back.
Thanks Again,
Steve

I was there The first week of November. Water temp was 80 just about every day, everywhere. 3mm Henderson Hyperstretch fullsuit worked just great for me.

No mention of any box jellyfish around Beqa Lagoon.

Papa Bear, that shot looks familiar. Tiki torch in the foreground and the Blue Surveyor anchored in the distance I think.
