The diving in the western regions of Fijian waters is pretty good. They have a tendency to be a bit warmer than the eastern waters so vis is down, but pelagic fish life is up. Boat rides to dive sites can be pretty rough, and that is my biggest gripe. (I get sea-ill, not quite sea-sick).

Uprising Resort is probably one of the hidden jewels of Fiji. They bill themselves as a backpacker resort but it is anything but. They do have a dormitory, but the individual bures are roomy and are really close to the beach. Pacific Harbor has probably the best beach in Fiji - very long and...

Perhaps a moral to this story is that Travel Professionals are worth using! You have someone here at home ot help settle these kind of issues. Just my 2 cents worth!

Finally had time to fill you in on the BIG TRIP! Spent 2 1/2 weeks in Fiji, traveled to the Mamanucas, Kadavu and Pacific Harbor. I made some absolutely fantastic discoveries. On Kadavu, aside from the Matana Beach Resort/Dive Kadavu and Papageno Resorts, there is a moderately priced...

The diving off of Port Vila is primarily wreck diving. There are a number of ships that have been sunk for divers. Santo is famous for the USS Coolidge - a luxury liner pressed into service for the US Army/ Unfortunately, when entering port, she hit a 'friendly' mine and ended up sinking...

I've been to Savusavu quite a few times (although not since '06) and have not heard of Rock n Downunder. Koro Sun Dive is a very solid operation. It is separate from the Resort across the street which has a great spa. A good place to hang out with the local dive staff is a little place called...

The two best things I ever did to increase the quality of my UW video: #1 Get a wide angle lens. I could afford the $3000 lens, but the next wider up from stock was around $800. #2 Learn to WB underwater. I spent about $90 on an arm and a Gates WB card. I WB every time I have to clear my...

Jennifer- Air Pacific flies direct to Fiji from Vancouver. You depart YVR at 730A-ish and land in Nadi (pronounced Nandi), about 520A two days later. A day is 'lost' to the International Dateline. Depending on your resort, you'll be basking in the sun by Noon. There are quite a few...

I've been to Fiji numerous times - I'm leaving on 22 May for about three weeks in Fiji and 1.5 weeks in Western Australia. If anyone has any special request on properties to check-out, I'll do my best to give a visit to as many as I can. I have found that the eastern side of the islands...

The owner/developer who is doing the work on Nananu also owns the Fiji Beach Club operated by Hilton on Denarau. Beautiful and expensive. The plans I have seen show a very large commercial development. Now something that I really want to see. We have been selling Fiji for over 10 years, and...

The Cook Islands is a great tropical vacation destination that has diving available, but should not necessarily be considered a "dive destination". I've been there twice - dove both times, and had nice dives. Not great, but nice. It's one thing to talk about Crown of Thorn infestations, but...

A paradise to discover..... Visit Kadavu's world renowned dive sites (third largest reef) and explore the ultimate underwater experience! Manta Rays are found in many areas of the tropics and we are fortunate that some of them call Kadavu's bay's their home. Our chances are very...

I bought my adapters right in Australia - brand namr of KORJO and/or Dick Smith. You get two outlets per adapter, and they are much sturdier than the ones I bought in the US. Cheaper too! A word of Caution - In order to charge all my camera and light batteries I brought from home a Belkin...

Hey e- A comparable Fijian property to Wakatobi would be Matangi Island Rresort. It's high-end property with really, really good food. I'm not sure that there are many non-liveaboard properties that will do 4 dives a day. I tend to agree with "mjh" about combining a live aboard (N'aia or...

There is a really cool resort on the islabd of Kadavu called Papageno Rresort that I staey at last year. The diving was great! and you didn't have to go deep to see a rainbow of soft coral and heaps for wildlife. We saw Mantas playing in the reef surfline. The resort was laid back and very...
