Comments	Great Place - the 2004 Chapbook writeups caused us to elect it - fabulous choice (wanted land-based since people so friendly!) Wonderful place for recovering from plane travel. We loved 7 day package, but shorter available for warm up to liveaboard. Wish I had afternoon dived the small island nearby, just snorkeled it. Somosomo straight excellent - soft corals, lotsa fish, Giant clam (rare there) extremely impressive! Currents strong but easy diving at bottom, no downcurrents encountered. Did surface interval at beautiful beach cove - short boat rides (10-15 minutes). Good dive operation and fast boats. Suggest exchange $100 or so when in Nadi at competitive rate. Travel people said no Credit Cards, but it does take Credit Card at end (added dives, bar tab...). Waiting for 2300 return flight from Nadi on Sunday was a drag since town "shut down" on Sunday; otherwise near perfect trip.
