Diving in Fiji - 2008

More blue skies this morning, Yay! First dive at Jim's Alley. Visibility was about 20 feet, strong current. Decided to bail after 30 minutes. Back on board several people sunned on the top deck. Second dive was at Nuku Wall. Supposed to be a drift dive, but there was no current, just lots of surge and no visibility. Sand was accumulating on Randy's housing!

After lunch we did Nigili Pass, a shark feed dive. Dropped down to 65 feet and tucked in behind some rocks. Joe put out some bait and the sharks and Sea Bass all surrounded us and ate the fish. Lots of fun. Used reef hooks afterwards to hold on in the current. Fantastic dive!

At 4pm we all boarded the skiff and docked at Nawaikama, a local Fijian village. We toured the village and then were greeted by many of the townspeople in the main community center where they sang and danced for us. We tried kava (several bowls :-) and presented them with some school supplies that we had brought. We made our way back to the boat and hung out with a few cocktails before bed.
