Day 1
Off to Fiji
May 17, 2019 in Fiji ⋅ 🌬 26 °C
From Flinders to Melbourne to Nadi to Beqa Island in 1 day.
We leave Flinders with Sharp Airlines then spend the afternoon at Jimmy's. We meet up with Jimmy, Lauren and Will, 5 of us make up "Team Crawford ". Brian and Leanne call in to drop off some dive gear for the others to pack, I have my own.
We head off to airport and meet the rest of the group, some we already know, some we don't.
We leave around 11.30pm so we all should sleep on the plane. Some do, some don't, I didn't 😢.
After 4 1/2 hour flight we get in around 6am local, and get on a bus for a 3 hour drive. Half way there we stop at Sigatoka for lunch and a souvenir shop look.
Back on the bus to Pacific Harbour for a 1 hour boat ride to Beqa Island resort.
We get a beautiful welcome from the Fiji staff.
I haven't slept since we left Flinders and not functioning too well. Settle into room then have a nap.
Explore in the arvo, get to know people and then a lovely sleep.Read more

Day 2
First day diving
May 18, 2019 in Fiji ⋅ 🌬 25 °C
Carpet Cove and Pearl Point.
We do 2 dives in the morning and the afternoon free for other activities like exploring the island, visiting villages or just chilling in the ☀
We are sharing this resort with 2 other dive groups from America.
In the afternoon, we play a game Jim and Lauren brought with them, a Scandiniavian game with wooden pegs similar to Bocce called Kubb. Was a real hit with the Americans and localsRead more

Day 4
Day 2 diving
May 20, 2019 in Fiji ⋅ 🌬 26 °C
Today we didn't take photos as I forgot to charge one camera and think I drowned the other :(
Again we had 2 dives in the morning. Jimmy and Ed didn't join us as they were too hungover. Adrian and Will came but was a tad seedy !
In the evening we were treated to the Beqa Island Firewalkers and serenaded at tea by the localsRead more

Day 5
I join the girls and see Suva
May 21, 2019 in Fiji ⋅ 🌧 24 °C
There are 3 wives of divers who don't dive. They do other things.
Today on offer is a day trip to Suva so I forgo the diving and have a day with the girls and our lovely guide, Joseph.
We do a sight see of Suva then some free time. I go see the food market and then find a building where locals have stalls and sell supposedly handmade souvenirs. I buy a few, much cheaper than in the shops.Read more

Day 5
Suva Museum
May 21, 2019 in Fiji ⋅ 🌧 24 °C
A visit to the Museum was fascinating. Some of the girls "just wanted to shop" and didn't really want to go but they were happy they did. Got to have a bit of a shop there anyway

While I was in Suva, the rest did another reef and a wreck dive, an old Chinese fishing trawler that was sunk as it was poaching in Fiji waters

Day 6
Shark feeding!! What we came for
May 22, 2019 in Fiji ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
Feeding sharks without a cage?? Yep, that's what we're doing, well at least watching the diver masters do it. Right there with them. No protection
