Comments	Fiji is a wonderful place, the people are incredibly warm and friendly. You need to stay more than a week (for you fellow USA folks), we stayed at Taveuni (Garden Island Resort) for 1 week and Viti Levu (Wananavu) for 10 days. Photographed some incredible treasures like a Manta, Harlequin Ghost Pipefish, Leaf Scorpion, a school of 200 Chevron Barracuda's. Boats were fine, especially with only 4-6 divers. Never did have more during our visit. Steel hulled, not much to look at, good sun protection. Coral looks great - incredible vibrant colors. Had a couple dives with strong surface currents, but once you dropped 30' it was fine. Avoid the day-room available at toka toka - terrible food, bugs in the beds, and generally poor maintenance. Also no where near as friendly as other two resorts we stayed at.
