Dive Conditions

Following the very good divemaster / guides is best if not familior with
the dive site.  Following the predive instruction is imparitive in regards
to the currents.  

The dive crew are very familior with photographer requirements.
Photographers had their own divemaster who worked hard finding the small
critters.
On board camera rinse as well as on shore.  

Overall Rating

The food is exceptional and everything is prepaired on site. You won't lose
weight here regardless on the number of dives. 
McDondald lovers have a great opportunaty for improving their pallet.
The accomodations more than sufficient.  All personel very helpful and
pleasant.

World class entertainment is provided by other world travelers as Fiji is
a very transient place with many divers from all over the world.  No TV.
Non required either.

The Aqua-Trek dive operation is very good with knowledgable and helpful
crew members.  All divemasters know the sites and how to deal with the
variable diving conditions namely currents.  Pay attention to the
"PREDIVE INSTRUCTION"  
Regarding the strong currents, my safety hook (usually used to hang for
the safety stops) was very useful attached to DEAD coral while viewing
various "cleaning stations".  All divemasters should have
these.
There are three HP compressors with a forth larger one being installed in
the future.
NITROX is available upon request.

Our weather was very rainy for this time of the year as the rainy season
started some 3-4 weeks early.  My non diving Wife was realy patient.

The surface times are typically used to see the sites and The waterfalls
and slides are worth the trips too as is the "Village Trip"
where one can learn how to process Kova and other local favorites.

The poeple are most friendly and always call out "Bula" in
welcome.
