Hi all.
We're "local" to Vanuatu and Fiji, being Australian's. Last year, we did Indonesia (Pulau Weh, Manado/Bunaken et al) and the year before, we did Malaysia (Borneo - Sipadan, Bunaken, Mabul etc). In the mean time - we've jumped around the East coast of Australia wherever we've had the time.
This time, we're looking at Fiji or Vanuatu, for something different - but (semi) local. We like all kinds of diving in general. Macro, wreck, wall/pinacle style stuff, and of course drift diving. We're not particularly inexperienced or experienced. Have around ~80 dives in our log books, with PADI Advanced OpenWater certs. We're planning on getting our deep+Nitrox cert or maybe deep+wreck cert this September, before we head off to the Islands.
So - I guess the question is, where do people really rate and recommend in Fiji? What about Vanuatu? Where did people prefer, who've been to both places? +ve's and -ve's of both?
Interested in overall opinions.
Thanks all
