Over my dead Body!


Lemme try and be clear about this one.
Absolutely, unequivocally, emphatically: not with Beqa Adventure Divers, ever!!!

I feared something was brewing ever since some dude came to our booth at DEMA.
He claimed to be some travel agent for Ritter (surprise surprise: I'm quoting CDNN - and boy, did they nail this one!) and our reception was, uh, less than welcoming.

Looks like he then got lucky elsewhere.
According to this website (bottom - and no, do NOT bookmark it!!!), the only professional shark-human interaction specialist, or whatever, and his groupies are planning to come to Fiji next year.

Howz this for conservation snake oil!



Here's a piece of free advice to whoever may have taken that booking: You may as well kiss your reputation goodbye - the good news being that there's plenty of time to reconsider!
And yes, enough said!

Mind-Altering!


For once, something positive!

I just had a look at the Fiji page of Concierge.com, the online home of Condé Nast Traveler.

Apart from many friends like the incomparable Uprising Beach Resort, the luxurious Royal Davui and Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Island Resort, one of the Regional Representatives of the Fiji Shark Conservation and Awareness Project, I found a funny feature under "Mind-Altering Vacations". The author sure did her stoned work homework! Globally!
Titled "Drunk and dreamy in Fiji", it extols the virtue of our home brew Yaqona. I can only agree, you should not leave Fiji without having sampled some Grog!

And then, there's the "Editor's Pick" page and Lo! : Our very own Shark Dive!
Trust me: that, too, is a "Mind-Altering" experience!

As I said, they sure did their homework!
