| Tonga | ||||||||
This island grouping, with all the beauty of the classic south
Pacific, lies 600 miles to the southeast of Fiji and can be reached via Hawaii,
Fiji, or New Zealand. There are few dive operations here, but reports
suggest that the diving is good. Tonga is seeking more tourism, although it
has been slow to develop.... Beluga/Dolphin Pacific Diving/Tonga Beach Resort, Summer 1999, Thomas Woltmann (tompm@ozemail.com.au.) Good vis, two good dive operations, Beluga more accommodating and cheaper than Dolphin. Coral not affected by bleaching. Brilliant coralscapes, not the place for pelagics. Tongan Beach Resort, make sure you get air duplexes containing two double accommodations for yourself, partitions are paper thin. Food excellent.
