Dive Conditions

None, except common sense  

Separate Camera Room with lots of space for storage, but not much room for
actually working on a camera (lots of shelves, but too high to work on). 
With only half the full complement of divers, we were fine, but with the
boat full, it would be very crowded.  Lots of cockroaches in the camera
room!!
Crew careful with cameras, and crew knowledgeable about camera techniques
and settings.  Liz and Josh (divemasters) showed videos of theirs
(educational, too) each night, and these were excellent.   

Overall Rating

GOOD -- Cabins were roomy, diving was beautiful, and easy.  Dove from
dinghies, but there was no time constraint -- they would pick you up
wherever and whenever you surfaced.  Divemasters were very safety conscious
and knowledgeable.  Diving in Fiji is excellent--beautiful hard and soft
corals; although there was some bleaching, it made the corals even
prettier--pastel colors.  Tons of fish.

Crew, native Fijiians and Liz and Josh, were excellent.  Went out of their
way to help and entertained us each night with their singing; we were
always welcome to join in the kava party.

Visit to Fijiian village was also fun -- not too long and we felt welcomed
by the villagers.

Itinerary on 14 day trip (another VERY good point -- if we have to travel
for that long, we want to have a long liveaboard trip).  We started diving
the very first day, then motored overnight (very calm, in the lee of the
big island Viti Levu) to our next destination.  Dove mostly between the two
big islands, where diving is probably the best in Fiji.  Dove the regular
dive schedule even on the last day, then motored back to port during the
night, in time to disembark Saturday morning.  So got good diving, easy
travelling, and a full 13 1/2 days diving.

BAD -- cockroaches upstairs, food.
