Comments	Volivoli sits on a sloping point overlooking the Bligh Waters. Mature plantings and beautiful views abound. Accomodations are meticulously maintained. Meals are good to very good, and can be part of a package or a la carte. The staff is delightful. We were there for a week before a trip aboard the NAI'A liveaboard. It's about 2.5 hours by car from the Nadi (pronounced "Nandy," rhymes with "candy") airport. Transfers are readily available, and the road is fine, as are the views along the way. We had zero complaints about Volivoli and would go back. Ra Divers is a professional operation. The basic drill is, leave everything but your exposure gear and mask on the boat, and it's ready to go when you get back on. Trips are two-tank or three-tank; for the latter, a nice lunch is provided. At departure, gear is rinsed, dried overnight, and bagged up for you. There is ample hanging space for all, and all gear is locked up at night. We did 12 dives (three two-tank, and two three-tank), and all but one or two were in the area of Vau-I-Ra, an island which is well within the Bligh Waters and includes Mellow Yellow and other well-known sites. Ra Divers has at least three boats, but I believe only two went out while we were there. One of our three-tank dives had 18-19 customers, and together with gear and three tanks each plus guide tanks, the boat, which is 9-10 meters, was full-up, but well-managed. The boats have large twin outboards, which get to the dive sites in about 45 minutes depending on chop. The all-Fijian staff is wonderful, and twice the week we were there, dinners were at the waterfront bar, with music and, one night, a singing and dancing performance.

UW Photo Comments	Ra Divers's boats have only a little black bucket for cameras. Onshore, however, there is a beautiful new camera room, with divided work stations, plenty of outlets (U.S. and Australian), compressed air, and ventilation. Very nice.
