Hey Everyone,
This thread is long overdue, since this trip took place last summer, but I've finally gotten around to uploading some pics, and want to share with RC how beautiful (which is an understatement) the ocean can truly be (as if you don't already know!) and where I drew inspiration from for my recent upgrade. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2086440
So first, I'll give you some background on where I went and how it all came about, and then the pictures will follow with what I hope will amaze even the most seasoned aquarist/fish-lover/coral-lover.
Well, my wife and I are planning to have a family soon, so we figured we would enjoy our "kid-less lives" while we had them and go out with a bang. We wanted to go somewhere that, once we had kids, wouldn't be a great place to bring them and/or couldn't bring them at all. A place that we could relax and be away from it all.
With that in mind, as well as the fact that I've been scuba certified for a number of years now, and my wife is a big trooper when it comes to snorkeling (and was planning to get certified before the trip), we decided it would be somewhere tropical with good diving. Although we've been lucky enough to have already traveled to a number of places such as Australia, Cozumel, Belize, and Hawaii, none of them really gave us the feel of being truly remote and away from everything else.
So after quite a bit of research on my part, we decided to travel to the South Pacific... to a place called FIJI!!! :spin1:
Hopefully I can do the trip justice by showing you just a few of the images we captured on camera (knowing that there were hundreds if not thousands of other images not captured on camera that will stay with us forever!).
Thanks,
Chad
