Comments the good: diving at Namotu island (Wilk's passage)and Pinnacles were very good dive sites with lots of different fishes (and sharks) and color coral.

The bad: the resort had some houses for families, dorm and burres for backpackers; resort not set up for divers; the food had small quantity.

Wished I had known that: unlimited dives ($516, USD) only meant 3 boat dives per day; but, I could have dives more days than 6; that resort was the 2nd best on the Malolo island; mostly all drinks were added to your final bill; the private room did not have lamps, storage drawers, etc.
