Comments	Truly a wonderful trip, gorgeous coral, tons of healthy dive sites and no other divers ever seen on any site. There were many first sightings for me which is thrilling. Pato and Fernando were gracious and kind hosts on the boat. My favorite sites were when we were moored and it was open pool off the back- snorkeling was often just as good as the dives. Saw the biggest Bumphead parrotfish ever! Pajama cardinal fish, Banded Archerfish, schools of barracuda and Jacks, giant cuttlefish. Visits to local villages to buy beautiful local wood carvings, dug out canoes paddle up food markets where local villages sell the boat all the produce and fruits we're eating. Very remote and unspoiled sites- get there before things change! Flew thru Fiji and spent the night in Honiara at the Heritage Park Hotel before and after- very comfortable and next door is the craft market if you need more wood carving! Spent another 10 days on land at Uepi Island Resort- will write separate report.

UW Photo Comments	Charging station on separate level from dive deck so lots of running up and down stairs- but also safer to keep charging in a monitored room near the wheel house.
