Comments I may have had too high expectations of Fiji...being blasted with "soft coral capital of the world" over and over! So I was disappointed in that sense...I feel that I have seen more (quantity) and more lush soft coral in Indonesia. That said, the diving in Fiji was excellent, beautiful, and worth doing. We were land based at Paradise Taveuni for four days of diving and we don't have a negative report or complaint. We highly recommend the resort...the grounds are beautiful and the people are even more beautiful! (Thanks Allan, for a great experience.). We continued our trip on the Nai'a live aboard (separate trip report).
