There has been no immediate tsunami warning and no immediate reports of any damage or casualties.
A 7.2-magnitude earthquake was recorded in the same region a week ago.
The area lies on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, a highly active tectonic zone that frequently experiences earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
The Ring Of Fire is a series of fragile fault lines that stretches from New Zealand, all around the east coast of Asia, over to Canada and the USA then all the way down to the southern tip of South America.
Today’s earthquake off Fiji came just days after 7.0 magnitude quake in the area while in recent months Japan and New Zealand have been rocked by several earthquakes.
