Comments	My wife and I checked into the Matana Beach resort with 4 others for a week of diving and relaxation, we got a shock upon checkout time. I had paid for 5 days of diving, turned out I had paid for 5 two tank dives. We were briefed that we would go to Astrolab Reef and to Kong mountain, both all day dives. Upon checking out there was a charge of $1035.00 Fijian for the additional dives, a waterfall trip @$40.00 each, plus value added tax. This was quite a suprise because in addition we had a bar bill for wine, beer and a couple of margaritas (for my wife).That added an additional $679.72 Fijian to the above amount. The bar bill ($4.00 beer, $35.00 bottle of wine, etc) was up front, with the prices shown, but there was no other place to get wine or beer. I just wish that all the info was up front, to eliminate the suprises. The bures were fine, the resort holds 20 plus people and there were only our six there for a week. It would be hectic if 20 were in house. The dive Master, Joelii, was great, You waded to the boat hauling your gear and set it up on the tanks. After the final dive, we hauled our gear to the bure and rinsed same and placed the items in a lockup for drying for the next day.
