Certified SCUBA Divers!

What a different reality it is to stay beneath the surface and float with the fish!  We took four days to get certified and are thrilled! What a wonderful place to take the classes and do our four ocean dives. We learned so much, and our dive master, Jim, was really coool (his very favorite word!).  He grew up diving near his village on Vanua Levu, the area we are going to next, and he certainly loves the ocean. We were too busy practicing skills to take underwater pictures, but as you can see in the photos, we had a great time. Jim, Dels, and Jone showed us the Fijian way to have fun. 


We leave tomorrow to check out of Lautoka and head north for Savusavu on Vanua Levu. There are many places to explore on the way up there, and the diving is supposed to be terrific. Sidewinder will be happy to move and do a bit of sailing on our way. We have thoroughly loved being in Musket Cove, diving, surfing, enjoying the people, and we will be back in a month. Onward we go!
