Pictures from Fiji
Well I just returned from a short vacation to NZ and Fiji. I spent a week in NZ and a week in Fiji. I spent most of my time in NZ with my parents who flew down a few days before me, but in Fiji, I spent 6 days by myself (well with new friends) on Beachcomber Island. I had a blast being the first time travelling alone, and met tons of awesome people, and made some good friends. My primarly reason for going to Fiji was to take my Open Water course, as i've always wanted to learn to dive. I ended up doing 3 more dives after my cert (total of 7 dives there), and was just blown away by what real reefs look like (tv and pictures don't do justice). One of my last dives, was a shark dive as well which was wild! I was extremely pleased with the diving outfit I went with SubSurfaceFiji.com, which was based on Beachcomber, but also they are the largest operator in Fiji, and located on several islands. If anyone is interested, I highly recommend them.
I've posted some of my fav pictures below, but feel free to check out the gallery below which includes pictures from the rest of the trip (still uploading a few more, and those from NZ).

Thanks for your response!
Omg, I had a awesome time there. I change my wallpaper almost everday to a different picture. I think i'm gonna save up to go again next year, and do the unlimited dive package (only $625fiji, but 50% off). One girl from Germany I dove with did about 22 dives in a week! Talk about a smokin' deal. whaase: HONESTLY, I didn't really think about it too much. I just kept saying "dammmmnnnn" "sweeeeet". There are so many signs regarding "saving the coral reefs", "not touching", "take nothing but memories, leave nothing but bubbles" and such, and I honestly believe it should stay out there. I know it wouldn't look half as good in my tank, than it does in the wild.
