Bula Copacetic, Glad to hear you're thinking about spending more time in Fiji, I don't blame you which of course is why I live here. :-) You were not mislead by the recommendation of Nananu-I-Ra island which is just opposite our resort at Wananavu. As you mentioned the resorts can be out of a...

Bula RockyRalph, Glad to hear you're making your way to Fiji for a dive holiday. You'll have a great time diving as we have some spectacular reefs. Just wanted to give you a heads up about a couple of the dive sites you've listed on your 'want to dive' list. While we do dive E6, which is an...

First Bill I will agree with you on one of your first points, there are A LOT of things you can do besides SCUBA diving. All those things you listed and then some can produce a lifetime of fulfilling experiences. No one ever said that SCUBA diving was all there ever was and all there ever...

Bula Rickyf413, Congratulations on the big 50. The Pacific is a great place to plan a holiday and you have A LOT of options for all sorts of different diving and tour options. My wife and I currently live and work in Fiji at Wananavu Resort and both have no intentions of leaving Fiji any time...

Bula Maurillo, We are very happy to hear you might be coming up to dive with us. We look forward to meeting you and your girlfriend and have our fingers crossed for you to get the days off you need to enjoy Fiji. :-) Cheers, Chris and Vicky

Bula Marillo, Great to hear you are able to have work pay for you to experience Fiji. Even better you get a week to visit around the islands. cbm32 and Greg have done a great job giving you the low-down on the different areas you asked about so cheers to them. As for November it is one of my...

Bula Pwogger, September to December is a great time to visit many areas in the S.Pac, especially Fiji. Our tradewinds start to die down around this time which means nicer ocean conditions for scuba diving and we are still out of the "rainy season." Our rainy season is really afternoon...

Bula BigGumby, First congratulations on the upcoming wedding, my wife and I just celebrated our first anniversary last month so I know how exciting your life is right now. :-) As a Dive Instructor I can't tell you enough how great SCUBA diving can be and the soooo many places it can help you...

Hi Thumbsplitter, We're happy you're thinking about visiting Fiji for your dive holiday. I'll have to thank Heg for the nice recommendations. We do offer the option to do three dives even though our packages are all designed around 2. We don't like to prebook 3 dives due to weather...

Bula Cuddlefish, Heg gave us a very nice recommendation and we appreciate it. Our dive shop covers diving in the Bligh Water and some of the same dive sites as Nai'a such as Howard's Diner (Instant Replay), Mellow Yellow, Black Magic Mountain, E6 and more. As Heg mentioned we do have a 50...

Bula Diverex, Glad to hear you and your wife are thinking about a trip to Fiji in Novermber and very happy to hear Wananavu is at the top of your list. Our best diving (and some of the best in Fiji) is out to the Vatu-I-Ra Passage (aka Bligh Water) and around a 45 minute boat ride with average...

We'll miss you Heg but it sounds like you guys are trying to visit in April now? Hopefully those dates work out as we're starting to see quite a bit of bookings for early next year. But we're looking forward to seeing you guys again. Vicky was secretly happy the November dates didn't work...

I agree with cbm32 on recommending Pac Harbor. Will offer many topside activities and will be your best diving in that area. From Sigatoka area (ie Shangri la, Outrigger, Hideaway, etc) Pac Harbor is about an 1 1/2 hour drive. For day trips check with Beqa Adventure Divers or Aquatrek. Both...

Thanks for the info Shasta_man, we're always happy past visitors have really enjoyed their holiday in Fiji. Our resort and dive center is one of the dive operations that services the Bligh Water. Our operation was brought in-house July 1 of 2012 because the owner was tired of the negative...

If the dive shop is not disinfecting rental regs after use I would be more worried about what is inside the 2nd stage reg body and on the diaphragm way more than a mouthpiece. I have serviced some really disgusting personal regs with all sorts of things growing on the inside. We soak all our...

Hmmm, Palau, Fiji, Indo and Cocos and you want better "big stuff" to photograph. First off those are some pretty epic dive locations on their own. My recommendation might be to do a dedicated photography trip with a specific subject. Something like the Tiger sharks of the Bahamas or the Whale...

Fiji scuba diving is hard to beat for divers looking for color and schooling fish. Throw in some sharks, rays and schooling pelagics as icing on the cake. While I can't guarantee child care with all resorts the three I've worked for in Fiji have all been able to accommodate day sitters so the...

Hi Kaielle, As both Divemaster Dennis and cbm32 mentioned Fiji is a very nice place to travel. Thailand is also a nice destination but you can't ask for more of a contrast in local cultures and atmosphere. Thailand is a very traveled destination and at their better known dive sites it's common...

Not as much info as we could used to help but from what you have provided there sounds like a couple problems. First your ISO is too high if you're shooting with a strobe. Try bringing the ISO back down to 250. I'm assuming your shooting Program mode since you chose your ISO to be 800. The...

Hey Leslin, Great on you for coming to Fiji for your trip. You will have a great time, Fiji is an amazing place. If you already have your DM then doing your IDC in Fiji is a nice place to do it. My wife Vicky is a IDC Staff Instructor and baring any unforeseen scheduling conflict will be...
