Comments When I arrived at the ressort, their large dive boat was out of the water, (gear box repair). BAD NEWS. They had a smaller dive boat which they made available and offered a morning and afternoon tank dive using small tanks. Because of the small boat and choppy seas they stayed close to the resort. The dives were shallow so the small tank lasted an hour plus. Not the greatest Fiji diving but, way above average for the rest of the world. now the GREEAT NEWS. Because of the large boat being on dry dock, there was unlimited diveing at NO CHARGE. Give this ressort an ATTA BOY. Did 8 dives and zero cost.
