Comments	This was our fourth trip to Fiji. Previously we had been to Taveuni, Kadavu and Beqa. We came to Wananavu because we had read such glowing reviews. The resort was nice. It’s very sprawling. We had an oceanview bure, but the view of the ocean was somewhat obscured by overzealous landscaping with palm trees. After diving we like to sit by a comfortable shady spot by the ocean and read. Because of the layout of the resort, it was challenging to find this kind of spot at so we ended up reading at the restaurant or at the room. The beach at the resort is not really for swimming, quite shallow, muddy with lots of little stingrays. It was fun to watch the mudskippers and little crabs. There are nicer beaches further away that can be reached by boat--make sure to visit One (pronounced Oh-ney) beach, which is beautiful, secluded and has great snorkeling. The village tour they took us on was excellent, the best one we have experienced. The food was good, particularly the curry of the day at dinner. Muffins at breakfast were like sponges but the delicious fresh tropical fruit more than made up for that. We had some minor glitches with the diving. When we arrived the dive operation was overbooked and the boats were having serious mechanical problems. The crew worked hard and made things right and we appreciated that. When we were there the visibility was iffy at the nearby sights and crystal clear at the Bligh Water sights. The Bligh Water sights were excellent with huge schools of fish, sharks, barracuda and excellent hard and soft corals. The currents here are very strong; this is not a place for novice divers. They do some drift diving, but they really need to do more drift diving. At one sight we were taken to what I can only describe as a shark nursery: large coral heads with adorable baby (three foot) white tip reef sharks sheltered underneath. Everyone was elated at the sight of the baby sharks. Large schools of barracuda on almost every dive. G6 is a phenomenal site. It starts off as a dive where you hang onto the reef and look at schools of big fish and ends up as a textbook Fiji beautiful soft coral covered wall dive. Garden of Eden was stunning for its dense hard corals. Overall a good experience but our favorite spots in Fiji are still Taveuni and Kadavu.
