 Ndukaniba Bay
Charlie, Dave and Enid, the locals!
They took us to their copra dryer up the local river through the mangroves 








Viani Bay 

 We spent a month here diving the wonderful reef in the Somosomo straight.




                                         And meeting the locals!














Jack Fisher - local raconteur, skipper, dive site navigator and all round good bloke!!






Mbutha Bay

The local kids come to stare at the Kaivalangi!!
And to gurn for the camera





Mark in his new Liverpool shirt!
I think he was more pleased with Suzie's chocolate roti!!

FIJI UNDERWATER


Soft corals in all colours (ok mainly pink) 

Much like thorns to touch, with the stem soft like marshmallow.
You are not supposed to touch them by the way, someone told me what they feel like, honest!

Our favourite photo subject - Anenome's.
This one was sitting in the current and the base kept lifting up every time a surge came by.





 We came across a coral bommie where all the Anenome's were closed up, digesting food!!
