As Fiji natives say, Bula or Welcome to Fiji!
This country is truly one of the most friendly countries on earth, considering in 1789 it was well known to a cautious Captain William Bligh and passing ships as the land of cannibals.
Fiji is made up of over 333 beautiful, exotic, tropical islands in the South Pacific. We will visit four different dive destinations, all off the main island of Viti Levu. We will dive the reefs off Wananavu where we will see vibrant, multicolored soft corals and over 1,200 species of fish. We will visit a native Fijian village for a ceremonial dance and be served their native drink called Kava.
After a walk through the jungle and swim in a heart shaped pool and waterfall, its on to tour the Naia, a Fiji live-aboard boat. After we tour the Castaway Island Resort, across from where Tom Hanks made his famous movie, we will dive the colorful reefs where we will see Lionfish and Blue Ribbon Eels.
Then, we will visit the famous Beqa Lagoon where we will go on an exciting mega shark feeding adventure.
Join us too, for our helicopter tour of the dense rainforest and jungles with magnificent cascading waterfalls in this picturesque country that only Fiji can provide. Vinaka (thank you).
Sit back and enjoy one of Dive Travels most exotic locations ever, and the very first show in our series shot exclusively in HD wide screen.

Here I show you what my vintage 2 piece sharkskin wetsuit looks like when worn. The bottom of the wetsuit is a pant style unlike the modern farmer john which goes over your shoulders. The pant goes as high as your waist. The top has a beavertail flap which tucks between your legs and then 2 turning buttons hold the beavertail flap in place to the front of the jacket. The hood is a sharkskin hood as are the gloves. The mask is a vintage style 3 window wrap around mask. The boots are slip on and they don’t have the zippers like modern booties. The fins are vintage U.S. Divers Otarie footed fins. I have a vintage U.S. Diver’s depth gauge on my left wrist. The weight belt is a vintage style with lead weights. I spin around in the video to give you a 360 degree view of the beavertail flap and I unhook the flap and rehook the flap in the video to show you how it attaches to the jacket.
