Comments	Please see our other review with Swiss Fiji Divers for our comments on Maravu Plantation Resort. While at Maravu we had already booked our diving through Swiss Fiji Divers across the street. We has such a great time diving in the Somosomo Strait that we decided to add another day of diving. Since Swiss Fiji couldn't accommodate us we went down the beach a few hundred yards to dive with Jewel Bubble Divers. Jewel was a new operation at the time started by the divemasters from Aquaventure, which had recently ceased operations. The staff at Jewel was friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgable of the local diving conditions. We told them we were hoping to dive the Great White Wall and they ensured we got there early enough to dive that site before the currents became too strong. The only complaint would be their boat. It was small and would be a pretty rough ride if the waves are choppy as they often are in the Somosomo Strait. While the boat was small, it did give us the luxury of being the only divers. Perhaps as Jewel continues their operations they might upgrade the boat.
