Comments	The trip from Tucson , AZ took about 22 hours door to door. we arrived in Nadi at 3:00 am . We slept at the hotel airport for a couple of hours . The Lalati van picked us up at 6:30 am and we drove for 2.5 hours then a 20 minute boat ride to the resort. There are no streets or any vehicles. The only way to get around is by boat or sea kayak. The resort is awesome! Large , individal bures with very nice finishes. The landscaping is lush and beautiful .The food is gourmet and plentiful. Lalati has their own dive operation. Over all the diving was nice. Bottom times were 50-65 minutes. Most of the diving is on pinnacles at 10 - 30 feet deep. Many different types of tropical fish and beautiful soft corals and sea fans. They served banana bread and hot chocolate during the surface intervals. For those that didn't want to do a second dive, another boat would pick them up and take them back to the resort. Very flexible diving. At lower depths their was evidence of coral damage . There was large amount of dead coral below 40 feet. I asked about it but couldn't get an answer. I would go back in a heart beat !
