Fiji and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Dive
Posted By Abigail Smigel on 2 November 2006
Be sure to try the Kava, a drink made from drying and pulverizing the pepper root. The locals swear by the stuff and say that it calms the body and prevents hangovers. The only thing I noticed was a slight tingling of my mouth. Although we were assured it was perfectly legal to bring into the U.S., we were thrown off a bit when our Taxi driver offered to sell us some bags on the sly en-route to the airport.
Drug deals aside, Fiji is a magnificent location for a scuba trip. The people we met were the nicest you could possibly imagine. Even walking down the street into town perfect strangers would look you straight in the eye and shout "Bula" with a smile. The time to go seems to be July as it is toted as the driest month.
Visibility tops 100 feet between June and October, however, Fiji is a year round travel destination. Be prepared to be stunned by the colors below and above the water and practice belting out a hearty "Bula" before you go!
