[None]This was our 5th trip to matangi island-it is like going home.The
resort has 12 bures plus the owners 2 bd villa. A new dining area and pool
will open any day. If you want nitelife this is not the place for you!  If
you want a relaxing vacation,in gorgous surrondings with excellent diving
,then I'd suggest you look at Matangi.  They offer a 2 tank dive every
morning. The boat is a 30 footer outboard(25-30 kts)sidebenches with a dive
ladder.  Most dive sites are from 5 -25 minutes from the resort. Interval
are either on the boat or nearby beach with tea cookies etc. I've never
seen another dive boat except when we went to Somo Somo . This trip costs
extra and takes about 1 hour.  Diving here depends on the tides-which can
be extremely strong.
