We have now explored Kadavu and had some really nice dives on the famous reef. We were very much hoping to see mantas, but they remain elusive. At least for us. Maybe next time. Despite that, we had a couple of fabulous days underwater and saw some truly beautiful coral gardens, canyons and walls.
The resorts on Kadavu seem to have very few guests, perhaps because of the remoteness of the island or perhaps because the resorts we visited were a little more rustic in nature. At Dive Kadavu we met Jan, Gord and Michael, a Canadian family that had sailed across from Bora Bora crewing for a Canadian boat Kuan Yin, which is making its way to Australia. They were the only guests at the resort. We had a nice cozy evening with them and came back for lunch after our dive the next day. And at the Waisalima resort we met a young American chap who is in Fiji to study coral. So apart from some nice diving, we met some interesting people.
After a few days, it was time to head to Port Denarau to refill propane and get a few practical things done such as wifi for the blog. And we were looking forward to meeting up with Ken and Lil from Moonbeam once again as they too were headed to Port Denarau for yet another crew change. We also ran into Jan, Gord and Michael on the pier as they were heading out on one of Captain Cooks day charters. We agreed to meet back at the pier later that day and get together for dinner.
So a few dinners and more than a few bottles of wine later, we pulled up anchor and started making our way up to the Yasawas.
