Great stuff!

Behold Joanna's post about her visit with us.

Joanna is the current Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society Australasian Rolex Scholar, and we are proud that she continues in the hallowed tradition of making Fiji the first destination in her year-long itinerary. Should you be interested, you can follow her adventures on Facebook, Instagram and on her blog.

Vinaka Joanna.

From the team, we wish you fair winds and following seas - and above all, heaps of adventure, inspiration and fun! And to our dear friend, the indefatigable and adorable Jayne who had to sit this one out: get well, and see you real soon!

Enjoy Joanna's post!
 

BAD Bull Sharks!

Very nice!

Thank you Olivia.

It is always a great pleasure hosting the Rolex Scholars and their lovely and indefatigable mer-mom Jayne, and this has certainly been no exception.

This is the parting vlog of our pal Melinda.

The new OWUSS Australasia Rolex Scholar is Olivia Johnson, and we all very much look forward to hosting her very soon indeed, together with her indefatigable mer-mom and dear friend Jayne!

And there is this.

The changing of the guard was recently celebrated in New York, and we are particularly proud that one of Melinda's pictures from Shark Reef was chosen to adorn the venue, see at top.
 

Vinaka vakalevu!

The Bulls of Beqa!

Thank you so much Melinda!

This is really, really nice.

Melinda is a repeat visitor - and it really shows as she understands, and has pretty much nailed what we do, and why.
Much appreciated, really!

Enjoy!

Like every year, we have been invaded by a gaggle of Rolex scholars along with their indefatigable mer-mom Jayne - and like every year, we had a great time.

As always, these gals are going places!

To be continued no doubt!

Highlights from my unofficial last dives as the 2016 Australasian Scholar.
Thanks to the new moon weather gods finally pulling through for us with good vis, no current and plenty of sharks. Amongst the mesmerising chaos of nearly 40 big bulls swimming overhead, I looked across the reef to catch Valerie "The Taylor" give me an adorable excited little wave.
I really could not have asked for a better, sharkier finale.

Enjoy!
