Comments	Wananavu is a great place made even better with the addition of Reef Safaris. Jeremy and Kristen go out of their way to make sure everyone is having great dives. They are quickly making a name for themselves with their level of service. They are extremely safety conscious. We made it out to the Vatu-I-Ra passage 9 of the 12 days we were diving. The entire team at Reef Safaris are top notch..always ready to lend a hand with gear or cameras or a smile and a "bula". Dive briefings are superb. Because of the distance from Wananavu to the passage, the boat rides were sometimes up to one hour, but well worth the time! Local dives have boat trips of 20 minutes or so, depending on conditions. All the divemasters/guides were very good, in that they did not swim too fast nor too slow, givings the photographers time to compose and shoot a series of shots. Small groups (3-5 divers per divemaster) made the dives seem less crowded, even with 18 divers on the boat. The shore dive is fantastic for macro photography, especially at dusk and nightfall. Tons of nudibranchs, juvenile sweetlips, lobsters, eels, etc. Newer divers or inexperienced should be aware there are some currents at some of the dive sites, but nothing too severe. The guides always try to limit the exposure to stronger currents. The bures are very comfortable, the food is above expectations, and the service is great at the resort. Fantastic views of the passage and the Bligh Waters from the bachfront and oceanview bures. Be prepared for a three hour ride from Nadi airport to the resort....roads are horrible, but that's part of the adventure. They do stop half way for a comfort break. Lots of activities to do for non-divers and for the non-diving days. The waterfall tour was a hoot! Just be sure to wear shoes that can get wet.

UW Photo Comments	Due to the fact that Reef Safaris does not have their purpose built boat yet, they had to lease a large boat for the time we were there. Huge fresh water buckets that accommodated even the largest rigs with dual strobes and dome ports. Crew very careful in how they handled our camera gear.
