Comments	The coral reefs are absolutely gorgeous. The little fish were so beautiful. We got alot of pictures of Nemo.The ocean was very choppy and not as clear as I expected. The currents were horrible. We should have brought gloves as you did have to hold on at times. Even the crew was surprised. We were told there is more current during the new moon. The current was so swift it was almost impossible to compose a picture. Since we had never been on the Na'ia before we were uncomfortable worrying about getting sucked out to sea and lost. There was no need to worry. The 2 skiffs that each take 8 divers were right there to pick you up when you surfaced. They just followed the bubbles. As soon as you got in the skiff they would take you back to the Na'ia. There would always be one skiff that stayed with the divers while the other skiff transported divers back to the Na'ia. This is a first class operation. The crew treated you like old friends and the food was excellent. We especially liked the trip to the village. We appreciate being exposed to alittle of their culture. The crew are great musicians. We had music every night. Kava was horrible but we drank it. The 12 hour trip from LA to Nadi was awful. Get there a day early to recoup from the plane ride. We stayed at the Novatel Hotel. It was very nice, the food was expensive.
