I posted this notice in the "Roommate Needed" forum but SD admin edited my post and moved it here.

I am looking for a dive roommate for one or both weeks in Fiji, April 14 -30.

What are "bures"?
Come on and wade way out into the water with me, we're drowning on dry land.

Lynn, bure is the Fiji word for a wood-and-straw hut, or a cabin. There can be a wide range of composition materials, but most resort bures have walls/roofs that you would be comfortable with.

I will be staying at the Beqa Lagoon Resort coming up in March! I leave on 3/10 and return on 3/19. So I'll be able to tell you all about those beautiful bures when I get back :)

www.beqalagoonresort.com will give you a good idea of what they look like. Way way way better than the simple "wood hut" literal name would imply.

I CAN'T WAIT for this trip. 28 days and counting down.

I have a (tentative) roommate for the first week at Beqa Lagoon!
That means you still have a chance to join me the second week at Matava: http://www.matava.com/
