Comments	This was the second island of a two-island Fiji dive trip. The first island was Taveuni, and I've posted that review. Leaving Taveuni, I flew from TVU to NAN, roughly 1 ½ hours of flight time in a prop plane on Fiji Link. As part of the dive and stay package, I had a private transfer from Nadi airport to Volivoli. With stops for groceries, water, snacks, it took about three hours. The driver was friendly and spoke English. It was a very enjoyable ride, albeit long. It was hot and humid, and because I'm a mosquito magnet, I used a lot of insect repellent. It did not rain at all during my stay. The staff commented about having all the rain in the previous couple of months had really brought the island back to life with lots of green color to the landscape and that it hadn’t been this green for several years. The water temps were 82-84ⷪ F, with a couple of dives at 86ⷪ and 89ⷪ F. The grounds are beautiful and well manicured. There’s a mangrove forest down the hill as you walk to the dive shop. The resort sits on a multi-tiered hill, which provides for stunning views. The hills are quite steep, so if you’ve got issues with your knees or back, this is something to consider. The least expensive rooms are at the top of the hill. If you’ve been to Roatan when the restaurant was at the top of the hill, that’s the degree of angle of the steps. There’s a brand new golf cart, which had just arrived the week prior to my arrival, and you can get a ride anytime you want. I have a bad knee, so I took advantage of the golf cart quite often, and they were delighted to help me. I was not the only one who took advantage of the ride, especially at the end of your trip when your body is just plain tired. I think next time I’ll bring my collapsible trekking pole. All of the staff was welcoming and friendly. The Fijian hospitality is something I’ll always remember. The target demographic here is serious and well-traveled divers and dive clubs/groups, although, there were some less experienced divers on the boat with about 20 li ...
