Comments This resort is in a beautiful isolated setting and caters to honeymooners and those seeking an ideal tropical island vacation. It has daily activities and tours for non-divers. Few of the guests dive. We were often the only divers on the boat during our ten day trip. This is valet diving where the dive staff takes care of absolutely everything. This is drift diving in moderate currents. The maximum guest/guide ratio of 4/1 allowed us to do our own thing of slowly looking for critters once the guides found that we are serious divers. The corals in Fiji are wonderful. one]

UW Photo Comments My wife uses a basic point-and-shoot that doesn't need much care. No bucket on the boat, although I think if we had asked for one it would have been provided. No shore camera room. The guides sought out stuff for her to shoot.[None]
