Greetings from Corn Country

[Mclianne]

Hi,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am a 34 year old surgery RN. I was certified last spring, doing my cert dives over two days in a sandpit in Nebraska. My first dive trip was last summer to Roatan, Honduras. I loved it! I ended up doing 15 dives the week we were there. Not bad for someone who swore they would never Scuba dive!

This summer, in about 4 weeks, my husband, In-laws and I are going to Fiji for a week of scuba diving. I can hardly wait.

I have enjoyed reading all the information here on the board. What a great resource for us newbies!

I was originally from the mid-west too (Soy-bean country) & thought I would never get to dive either. Well, dreams come true! Welcome & enjoy.

welcome to the board Mclianne. Make sure you post a trip report after you come back from Fiji, I am sure others like myself who are considering Fiji would like some information on it.

Welcome to you from your neighbor to the east. Hope you have a wonderful time in fiji. Where are you staying? Up and coming certified travel agent would like to know for future reference of course. I plan on starting a travel agency specifically geared toward dive travel once I receive my Bachelor's Degree. Any and all info on the area would be appreciated.

Thank you

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have already been reading some of the posts here avidly. I tend to lurk more than post...



The trip was arranged for us by my In-laws. My husband and I are kind of along for the ride so to speak. We will be going to Dive Kadavu for a week, then 3 days in Suva and 3 days in Nadi is what i think they told us. we haven't been able to get any more specifics than those. Have no idea if we will be in two of the 2 people Bures or one of the 4 people Bures. Though my husband hopes we have separate ones for obvious reasons.

Will try to post a trip report when we get back, though I don't think it will be up on par with some of those i have already read here, very entertaining!

Anyone have suggestions on things to see in Nadi or Suva? (will also post this elsewhere)
