Re: Freediving in Fiji

I have freedived for a few days at the Waya (sp?) islands, a few hours away by boat from Nadi. I did it around December, didn't need a wetsuit at all but if you are going for a whole year and are bringing some amount of luggage with you, I'd pack in a 2mm or a shortie because I suspect that in the local winter sea water is cool. On the other hand, seeing that you are based in NZ, maybe you'd find it warm anyway.
From what I have seen of Nadi and its surroundings, you'd have to go some distance (either by boat or by car) to find some worthy spots. Even the Wayas, one of the destinations for tourists with diving ambitions, are quite pathetic compared to many other S. Pacific places. Problem is overfishing and poor visibility.
To cheer you up: I have seen a few truly great places and I'm probably spoiled.
