Called the soft coral capital of the world, Fiji is in the Pacific, over 1500 km north of New Zealand and east of Vanuatu. Fiji includes around 800 tropical islands, many of them are uninhabited and excellent dive locations including Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, the Ringgold Isles and the Eastern Group. There are canyons and walls, reefs and shark alley. The water is around 30C/84F.

Departure Tax (in Feb 1999) is 20 Fiji $, and you need Fiji $. When exchanging money you get a better exchange rate with traveler's cheques than cash. In Nadi and Suva, it is just as easy to exchange Canadian $ as US $. Cost of meals, lodgings, souvenirs, etc is quite reasonable. Car rental was expensive as was gasoline/petrol. Driving is on the left side of road. February is in the rainy season.

Bula means Welcome.

Full details on Dans' site. Here are some excerpts:

Good, spacious boat.
Wakaya Island. The diving here was absolutely superb and we made 5 dives. The diving was outstanding and easy. The reefs were in great shape and the marine life was abundant. We saw: a squadron of pilot whales, reef fishes,  4 manta rays in Nagali Pass, juvenile many spotted sweetlips. Most sites had small fish only, but one was a place where leopard sharks liked to hang out.

Basic but nice. Recommended for divers, and only divers. The remote location makes it crime free.
