Tonga - any info?

I am planning a trip to Tonga - i want to get away from it all, dive, relax and preferably go somewhere where my blackberry will not get a signal

Anyone been to Tonga? I am looking at Haapai - any feedback on visits to Tonga would be appreciated.

Smile Re: Tonga - any info?

tonga has got awesome diving- re ha apai the guys that run the diving show there are into conservation so if you are a spearo forget it . if you are into filming i can recommend them - the kiwi who runs the co. is a photographer.
va vau has got great dives and a few more people who can take you out.
beluga dive co. i can personally recommend that chris ( a young tongan ) should be the one to ask about it .
there are also some really good dives from the main island group -tonga tapu
if you do go - just be aware that the inter island plane service is "patchy" - and also they are tight with excess baggage so travel light. one final thing - dont plan on too much happening on Sundays except church
cheers
