This trip is NEXT to be posted!

I've had several people ask how they upgrade to premier member so they can be one of the first to sign up....here you go!

Our premier members get first dibs on our trips and have a 7 day booking window before our general membership. Some of our more anticipated trips have acutally filled out during this time so if you don't want to risk not getting a spot...consider upgrading to Premier Member status. Its only $35 a year...gets you a cool membership pkg, eligibility for a $25 premier member rebate after EVERY trip you take with us as well as discounts on travel and merchandise.

To upgrade simply click on MY CONTROLS and then click on paid subscriptions under OPTIONS on the left. Then choose either paypal or post/postal if paying by check. Let us know if you have any questions!

Kadavu Beach Resort....here!

I'm putting the finishing touches on the details right now. It will be posted today for our premeir members and above to start signing up for!

A bit about the resort and the island we are going too...

A South Pacifc dream...Fiji! And Dive Kadavu - Kadavu's premier resort, is located only 10 minutes by boat from Kadavu airport and is set in lush topical gardens adjoining a beautiful sandy beach called Matana, which in Kadavu dialect means all tide sandy beach. On one side of the resort are the villages of Navautu and Drue and behind are rolling hills with walking trails, which have great views. As the resort faces due west the sunsets can be quite spectacular - great for photographers.

Kadavu Island is located approx 100kls (60mls) south of Suva, the capital of Fiji. It is the fourth largest of the 300 odd islands in Fiji and is virtually undeveloped. The island is surrounded by coral reefs with magnificent palm fringed beaches and rugged terrain. At the southwestern end lies Nabukulevu, an extinct volcano. The length is approx 80kls (50 miles) and the width varies. The native population of some 12,000 still live quite traditionally in 72 villages scattered throughout the island. As there are few roads, transport is mainly by boat. Vunisea, the only town on the island, is located near the airport and boasts of a post office, hospital, police station and boarding school. Dive Kadavu is located in a pristine part of the world, that major development has not yet affected.

For many years we have taken the lead with our own campaign of environmental awareness. The management, staff and local villages have all been trained and educated in many factors that could impact our local area. We have fought to have marine reserves declared. We use an invertor systems to reduce the running times on our generators. All dive sites used by Dive Kadavu use property place moorings and we have an awareness campaign for all our guests. Our paradise will continue while we all continue to protect it.

Resort Info: We will be staying at a lovely resort Dive Kadavu - which has just 10 bures (Fijian word for Bungalows) & accommodates a maximum of only 22 guests at any one time. (We will only have 12 people on this trip but so far the remaining resort is still open!) Each bure has it's own bathroom (with hot water), ceiling fans, bed-lamps, queen size bed, or 2 singles, verandah, fly screening, fridge, external rinse shower etc. Two of the bures have two bedrooms which will accommodate up to four people however we will only put 3 in these rooms if we get enough for a triple or two. Please note we can NOT guarantee triple occupancy if the rooming does not work out. The remaining eight bures can each accommodate 1, 2, or 3 people however we'll only put 1 or 2 in them. Built in a more modern - traditional style, they blend into the lush gardens and are roomy enough to allow space for relaxing in your private time.
All bures have direct access to the beach, dive shop, dining/lounge rooms, bars and activities. They are powered with 240V electricity which is generated by the resort's own power plant. An inverter system is used between 9.30pm & 7am, which powers fans & lights.
