Comments	GREAT food, service, warm people, neat critters like Blue Ribbon eels on most dives, Clown TRIGGER fish, Titan, Scythe, and red toothed triggers too. Sleeping white tip reef sharks, nudibranchs, loads of anenome fish and baby fish. Healthy beautiful coral, great viz, lion fish etc. Great live local music at dinner every night. Local dancers entertained one night and they were very fun. Firewalkers also came and did their thing. All the shore diving you can eat and two night dives a week. (Take your own cylume sticks) in fact don't expect to buy anything the entire time you are there because there is nowhere to go. Kayaking fun and sheltered. Internet access available but expensive. They bent over backwards to make everything just perfect. The food was so good that it compared most of the time well with really good restaurants at home. I would go there for dinner if they existed here and that is a big step above where most dive places are. Water 100% safe from a spring and we ate and drank everything and if I can do it anyone would be fine. Watch out for the Kava bowl as everyone drinks from it and some people got a throat infection a couple of days after the kava ceremony and had to go back to the mainland to get to a doctor. Be sure to get to Joe's Best. The best dive site I have ever seen. It can have a little current but it is breathtaking. If Fiji had a coral bleaching problem in 11 dives here and 12 in the Bligh waters I never saw it. The whole thing is a riot of life. Just counting the critters in a cubic yard of space would be maddening. Laundry service nice because of the humidity. (nothing dried) I usually don't use them as they tend to be rediculous but for about $3-5US per person per day we kept out of the laundry business and in clean dry unsmelly garments. the grounds are right out of a postcard and the trip from the airport is through lush beautiful jungle that is probably what the best parts of Hawaii used to look like. This is a seriously not to be missed place.
