Comments	We finally did the White Wall which was the highlight of the trip (visibility was great here). They offered that dive on back to back days, and on the second day (on which we were not diving), they split the group, as some divers were uncomfortable going to that depth. This was par for the course on the week, as they were quite good about sending two guides down if it was likely to be appropriate on a dive. The dive guides were extremely good at helping one of us find tiny nudibranchs for photography. The soft and hard corals were both magnificent; we don't see any deterioration over the past decade. The visibility was pretty poor most of the week because it was rainy season. The usual routine for most of the guests was two-tank morning dive. We also did an afternoon dive each day--which requires two divers willing and able. The food and facilities were top notch - delicious and varied food, and super friendly staff. Due to rainy conditions, we couldn't get our gear dry outside, so the staff took it into the compressor room, which got it toasty in preparation for a two month storage in Nadi. Definitely recommended.

UW Photo Comments	Big bin of freshwater on boat. Short transit times made that sufficient. Plenty of space in each Bure to take care of cameras ashore.
