Fiji in 6 weeks, what's the water temp?

Hey Triggerman, my wife and I are headed to Beqa Lagoon Apr 1 - 10. If you are staying there then I guess we'll be doing some dives together. We will be the people from Texas. Never been and can't wait to go. Hoping to get some decent pics.

Hi tedement
When you get there look us up, I will be with a group of 14 people from the Houston area there till the 3rd. Where in texas are you all from?

I'm so jealous of you guys getting ready to go there. Not sure if you are looking at the other post about the luggage. But take time to get to know the workers and the group that entertains at dinner. They take a few people back to their house to share in a kava ceremony with the other workers and some locals. Even if you don't like the kava its still great to spend time with them outside of the resort. Just don't bring it up around the resort managers as they aren't supposed to do that but its pretty amazing to have them bring you into their house and share in part of their life and culture. And if they let you know that they are going to have dinner at the house one of the nights skip your normal meal because the chicken and pork they make is amazing.

That sounds so cool I can't wait. While you were there did you hear anything about a Typhoid Outbreak?

 

[chadbeck]

No I only heard about that after I got home. No one in the resort came down with anything all week. I would guess they didnt get hit with it in that area.

Yo' HFD838, I am so happy to hear there will be another group from Texas there. I live in the Dallas area and grew up in north Louisiana. We are counting down the days and I am already dreaming about it every night. Seriously.

Just returned from Wananavu. The water was 82 - 84 degrees. Poor visibility because of Cyclone Tomas

I used a 3 mil shorty last April and it was just right. It is best to do Beqa first then the Bligh waters. Diving in the Bligh waters was sooo much better.

Hey Trigger, I'm going to Waidroka in October; we're taking over the entire resort.

Would love to hear your comments when you return; hope you had a GREAT week.

I agree completely, but don't stop there...take it up another notch by visiting the island of Taveuni and diving "The Rainbow Reef" - PHENOMENAL!!!

We returned yesterday - a skin was perfect for us. We tried wearing a 3 mil shorty the first day but it was just too hot
