Are the DMs as cute in Fiji?

I failed to mention that Fantasy's fogging. Not sure what it was but I presume it was safe. Next time I'll ask. Anyway I took two cans of DEET spray and two bottles of mineral oil I wanted to try on the sand bugs but tried not using anything and never noticed a bite one. I've used the same chemical on crops, my veggie garden, and a farm cat once - very safe.

I failed to mention that Fantasy's fogging of permethrin really seems to work well.

Oh my. Read the "toxicology" section. That might explain a few things.

Haha I am going to remove my reference to the insecticide as I don't know what they used actually. I think I'd head that, but I was wrong before.

Not safe on cats, huh? Seemed like a good idea at that time years ago, and the infested cat was a lot better the next day. Don't remember how long he hung around but farm cats come and go a lot.
 
I was wondering about nitrox at FI. Is it included in the price, or is it extra. And how much extra per tank?

Thanks

Optional, I think $8/tank or $116 for the week.
 
Their nitrox package was $100 plus tax ($116) for the week if you pay in advance- but BEWARE - this only includes 3 tanks per day for the boat dives (also one night boat dive). If you want to do more diving (shore dives) you are stuck with regular air unless you didnt do all 3 boat dives then you can get nitrox for your shore dive. At one time it was unlimited nitrox but not any more. They're not really clear on that in advance when you book.
 
Thanks for the report. My son and I leave Satruday morning for Roatan, and are hopin for good weather, good visibility and good diving. It is our first trip there, and our first time to Fantasy Island.

Hope you folks have a great time, let us know how it went when you return.

Or from there. They have wireless in the lobby, unsecured!, and one shared desktop - but get a beer as the page loading is slower than dial-up in the US.
