Comments	I stayed and dove here from 3-12 March'15 after a week on the Nai'a liveaboard. I logged 20 dives along Rainbow, Vuna, and local shore sites in 7 dive days with the onsite Pro-Dive Scuba operation... a remarkable experience! I observed superb dive leadership and guide skills from the entire dive staff. Solid situational awareness was consistent from these guys/gals. Boat captains were always keenly aware of our position and helpful with our entries and recoveries. Safety is paramount with this professional outfit. It's great to be treated as a seasoned diver. The diving along Rainbow and Vuna reefs exceeds it's international reputation... Ya gotta dive it to believe it. Even the best videos cannot really convey the dive experience here. Currents were mild to ripping. Often, we were the only dive boat on the reef. Snorkled with Mantas twice while enroute to Rainbow sites. From "The Alan & Terri Dynamic Duo" to the construction folks building the new rock wall.... I was met with warm smiles and positive attitudes. Service is excellent as is the effort to keep this rustic & beautiful place in top shape. Food is primo. Great little bar. Sue provided five life-altering deep-tissue massage therapy sessions for this grateful senior diver. Thanks to the entire staff for contributing to my great Scuba memories. Any minor glitches were quickly resolved...such as an inop airconditioning controller. If you want the best Fiji has to offer... stay and dive Paradise Taveuni.
