It`s time to return to Fiji, but we`ll try a new resort! Fiji is the soft coral capital of the world and it lives up to the reputation. It`s a long way to go, so let`s make it 9 nights with 7 days of diving with an option to add extra dives. We`ll depart the day after our quarterly meeting--August 6th--and we are holding 9 bures (for 18 people) at Wananavu Beach Resort (diving with Kai Viti Divers) on the main island of Viti Levu.

**INTEREST LIST ONLY** We`ll stay at the beautiful new Fiesta Inn and dive with their on-site operator. The Sea of Cortez is one of the most prolific areas for fish in the world and La Paz is a charming Mexican town, unlike the busy tourist areas of San Jose Del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. We always get enough signups to do this trip, so only the details are tentative (like firm dates and price) [Read More]

We`ll stay at a hotel/resort near Roadtown on the island of Tortola. From there we can dive all over the many islands that make up the British Virgin Islands. Beginners and experienced divers alike should find the dive sites very interesting and appealing.
Dive with Caribbean reef sharks and on the old James Bond movie sets. This area is known for its clear water and lack of current, so a great destination for beginner SCUBA divers (or to get certified). But with the movie sets and shipwrecks, it`s also fun for experienced divers. We`ll stay at Cable Beach and be shuttled the 20 minutes to and from Stuart Co [Read More]
