Comments	Highly recommend. Excellent camera room. They also don't make you dive with a buddy which I love and don't herd you along. Their tenders are tight there to pick you up. Your safety is their highest concern. The cruise directors run a tight efficient operation but Bel and Mike are lovely and very knowledgeable and kind. The crew is fabulous I loved them all. They are the epitome of Bula. The village visit was real and fun and not touristy and icky. The diving is insanely beautiful however you need to be able to deal with current, do a back roll off a zodiac, do negative descents, etc. This is not beginner diving. It is eat sleep dive and I love that. The food was great and the portions just right. The cabins were great with one exception. Me and my buddy got a perfect room with two single beds. None of this bunk nonsense where you have to crawl over someone else's bed to get into your bed above theirs. This boat is not the cheapest so I was surprised they even had bunks. I would not have been happy to get a bunk as it was rough seas sometimes at night and I don't like climbing up and down in the dark, stepping on my buddy etc. The other kind of weird thing is that there is no common bathroom outside of your cabin. So no head on the dive deck which is kind of annoying but a small annoyance really. They also do not provide 100 cf tanks which was a bummer to an air hog photographer like me. I also wished I would have brought a 5mm by the 4th or 5th dive of the day. It was still a little chilly in October at 80 degrees F. Those are really the only two bad things. The charging area in the camera room is plentiful and there is lots of room in the salon for phones computers etc. no charging in your bedroom. I would do a 10 day trip next time.

Closest Airport	Nadi	Getting There	Aside from Fiji Air being a pain to deal with and the ridiculous weight limit on carry ons it's pretty simple. Fly from LAX or SFO direct to Nadi. Get picked up from there.
