Comments	The food is exceptional and everything is prepaired on site. You won't lose weight here regardless on the number of dives. McDondald lovers have a great opportunaty for improving their pallet. The accomodations more than sufficient. All personel very helpful and pleasant. World class entertainment is provided by other world travelers as Fiji is a very transient place with many divers from all over the world. No TV. Non required either. The Aqua-Trek dive operation is very good with knowledgable and helpful crew members. All divemasters know the sites and how to deal with the variable diving conditions namely currents. Pay attention to the "PREDIVE INSTRUCTION" Regarding the strong currents, my safety hook (usually used to hang for the safety stops) was very useful attached to DEAD coral while viewing various "cleaning stations". All divemasters should have these. There are three HP compressors with a forth larger one being installed in the future. NITROX is available upon request. Our weather was very rainy for this time of the year as the rainy season started some 3-4 weeks early. My non diving Wife was realy patient. The surface times are typically used to see the sites and The waterfalls and slides are worth the trips too as is the "Village Trip" where one can learn how to process Kova and other local favorites. The poeple are most friendly and always call out "Bula" in welcome.
