Spectacular diving in a special place, with genuine local hospitality that goes far beyond the travel brochure cliches.
Dive Academy Fiji的点评
点评：We spent a wonderful week at beautiful Viani Bay Resort, and diving and snorkelling with the fabulous team at Dive Academy Fiji. This place is genuinely special - gorgeous location, world-class diving, comfortable accommodation, delicious meals, and a demonstrable commitment to sustainability, cultural sensitivity, and community.
The booking process was effortless (thank you Marina!) and numerous follow-up questions about diving, snorkelling, and all manner of details where answered quickly and patiently. Marina and Jone literally built the place with their own hands, and employ all their staff from the four local villages on the bay. As a long-time Fiji 'local' I can attest to the genuineness of their commitment to their community - you can see it and feel it in the respectful relationships between them and the staff.
The food was superb. Lot of fresh fish (of course!) and vegetables grown in their own gardens. Plenty of options for vegetarians, pescatarians (me!), and meat eaters. All prepared with local expertise and care. And topped off with Jone's own Fiji Sea Salt, made on site in flavours too many to list!
The diving was brilliant. The highlight was the Great White Wall but every site was special. Short boat rides in one of three small fast boats, usually returning to the resort for the surface interval because the distance to the Rainbow Reef is so small: they are easily the closest operator to the reef (much closer than those on Taveuni). Divers may have read about the supposed 'time slots' being the only times the Great White Wall is diveable. This seems to based more on the schedules and distances required by more distant operators to make the trip worthwhile - no such problem from Viani Bay, where the site is 15 minutes away and diveable almost any day depending on tides and currents. Marina and the dive crew know the reef like the back of their hands and I was able to make two dives on the wall in one day - the second a spectacularly colourful night dive.
The dive guides are very competent and knowledgeable (many trained by Marina) - safety-conscious, great spotters, but unobtrusive and happy to let experienced divers dive their own dive. As mentioned on their website, there really are a maximum of four divers on a boat - several of my dives were just me and the dive guide - bliss! I used my own gear, but the rental gear appeared current and well maintained.
My wife is a non-diver, but keen snorkeler and usually came with me on the same boat with a dedicated snorkel guide either on the spots we were diving or nearby. We also enjoyed a morning snorkelling with their (local) resident marine biologist who is supervising their coral farming and community conservation projects. Most places these days trumpet their 'eco credentials' and 'social responsibility'. These guys are just quietly doing it - they're the real deal.
I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to get back there and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, special Fiji dive experience.

翻译：我们在美丽的维亚尼湾度假村度过了美妙的一周，与斐济潜水学院的优秀团队一起潜水和浮潜。这个地方真的很特别——地理位置优越，世界级的潜水，舒适的住宿，美味的饭菜，以及对可持续性、文化敏感性和社区的明显承诺。
预订过程毫不费力（谢谢玛丽娜！），关于潜水、浮潜和各种细节的大量后续问题都得到了快速而耐心的回答。玛丽娜和乔恩亲手建造了这个地方，并从海湾的四个当地村庄雇佣了所有员工。作为斐济的长期“当地人”，我可以证明他们对社区的承诺是真诚的——你可以从他们和员工之间相互尊重的关系中看到和感受到它。
食物非常棒。很多新鲜的鱼（当然！）和自家花园种植的蔬菜。素食者、鱼素者（我！）和肉食者有很多选择。所有食物都由当地专家精心烹制而成。最后再撒上 Jone 自己制作的斐济海盐，味道多得无法一一列举！
潜水很棒。亮点是大白墙，但每个地点都很特别。乘坐三艘小型快艇中的一艘进行短途航行，通常会在水面休息时返回度假村，因为到彩虹礁的距离非常近：他们无疑是离珊瑚礁最近的运营商（比塔韦乌尼岛的要近得多）。潜水员可能已经读到过所谓的“时间段”是大白墙唯一可以潜水的时间。这似乎更多地基于更远的运营商所需的时间表和距离，以使这次旅行值得 - 从维亚尼湾出发就没有这样的问题，那里的地点距离这里只有 15 分钟的路程，而且几乎每天都可以潜水，具体取决于潮汐和水流。玛丽娜和潜水员对珊瑚礁了如指掌，我能够在一天内两次潜入墙上 - 第二次是色彩缤纷的夜间潜水。
潜水导游非常专业，知识渊博（许多都是由 Marina 培训的）——他们注重安全，是优秀的观察员，但不引人注目，乐于让经验丰富的潜水员自己潜水。正如他们的网站上提到的，一艘船上最多有四名潜水员——我的几次潜水只有我和潜水导游——太幸福了！我用的是自己的装备，但租来的装备看起来是最新的，而且保养得很好。
我的妻子不是潜水员，但热衷于浮潜，她通常和我同乘一艘船，有一位专门的浮潜导游，要么在我们潜水的地方，要么在我们附近。我们还和他们（当地）的常驻海洋生物学家一起享受了早晨的浮潜，他负责监督他们的珊瑚养殖和社区保护项目。如今，大多数地方都在大肆宣扬他们的“生态资质”和“社会责任”。这些人只是默默地做着——他们是货真价实的。
我期待着下次有机会再来这里，强烈推荐给任何想要体验真实、特别的斐济潜水体验的人。
