Some anemones in Fiji

Thanks for the bump Those are truly amazing pictures of beautiful anemones and their natural setting. The one time I did any snorkeling was a couple years before I really knew about reefs. I so want to do it again from a new viewpoint:)

Where is this and how was the pricing/amenities? All I need is a hammock and food. Who cares about the internet. Well maybe a place to charge my camera batteries.

This was on a private island in the Mamanukas. Assume $2500 per person for 10 days, including airfare from LAX, all transfers and meals, ocean-front bure (cabin) on a private island with 10 bures total.

You could do it for a little less if you stayed on one of the day-tripper islands that cater to the backpackers from Australia and Asia. Airfare is going to be 50% of the cost.

Send me a PM if you want to know specifically where I stayed. (Photo of Monuriki Island) You want to stay in the Mamanukas or the Yasawas.

Leave it to RC addicts to even think about standing around in the ocean holding a PAR meter.... :)

Believe it or not, more than 50% of the islands in Fiji are uninhabited. They are all small, and rocky, and not really conducive for development... but that doesn't make them any less romantic :) On this trip I would sit in my lounge chair, with water lapping at my feet, drink in hand, and watch as the sun would set over a dozen of these islands on the horizon.

The island in the photo was used as the setting for the film "Castaway" starring Tom Hanks.

In a word, that is what I call "Paradise".
 
The place I stay at has a small biology library for snorkelers / green tourists. I am bringing them a gift:

please make sure you bring 2 under-water cameras, just in case one of them breaks. really, that's what happened to me this summer when i was snorkling in the carribean and the cam decided to call it quit.
 
In addition to my standard underwater camera, I'll be bringing a couple GoPro's. I hope to have some anemone videos.
 
Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing, natures beauty and isnt it amazing. Wow that is one good size Mertensii, haddoni. Beautiful island too.
