oh noesssssss that sucks.
Any thing else can people think off that might have nice to know before hand about the resort?
For the extra cash should I carry for fiji money or us money?
I am not sure if you are referring to the lack of snuba, or the lack of night dives. With respect to the snuba thing, maybe your wife would like to the try the resort course diving. There were two couples who tried this when we we there, and they really liked it. The diving was right in front of the resort, and it was supposed to be very good (did not try that myself). You could probably dive with her there, too.
One other thought with respect to night diving. You may be able to set it up so you dive with Qamea, which does night dives. I suspect this will depend if they will run you out by boat to Qamea (or if Qamea will pick you up) in the dark. I know that they cooperate with Qamea resort in a number of ways (lending out the experienced dive master, Bale, to train the less experienced dive guides at Qamea, for example).
I changed $100 US when I got to Fiji, and only spent about a fourth of it by the end of my trip. There was not too much to spend cash on. Maybe email the folks at Matangi to let them know when plans (i.e., tours, etc.) you have, and they can give you guidance tailored to you.
I just posted a trip report on this board, and it has a little bit of additional information, if you want to have a look.
Good luck!
