West Coast Diving
This weekend I went for a dive at a place called Momi Bay near Nadi on the west coast of Fiji. The weather turned on Sunday but all-in-all it was pretty amasing.
It was the first time I’ve swam with sharks so it was all good – they’re kind of shy you know, thought that they’d be all over me like a fat kid on cake, but no, they ran (swam) away.
It was a great place to dive though, completely secluded and unspoilt.
It was actually a work trip. I had to tag on the back of a tourist dive but the mission was to retrieve a temperature logger that had been placed on the reef nearly 18 months ago.
Happily, we found it.

WWF South Pacific Newsletter
In January I produced the WWF South Pacific’s first newsletter – Pacific Currents. It was a little rushed but the second edition, which was completed a few days ago, is really nice (I think)…. have a look and let me know what you think.
It gives a pretty comprehensive overview of all the work the WWF SPPO has been doing in the past two months.

Turtle Tagging in Suva
Last week we got a call from Fiji’s main university, The University of the South Pacific, asking if we would help them tag a turtle they found. Of course we were only too happy to drive down the road to their campus to record the turtle’s size, species, condition, etc…, then to stab it with a shinny new aluminium tag and release it into the sea.
It was only a small little thing but I was very happy in the knowledge that it was only out of the water and in human hands for a small period of time – this is not always the case as you may remember from HERE.
Anyway, it was a 39cm long hawksbill turtle for those interested. I called him Rupert but apparently I was outvoted and his recorded name was Keanu (Coolness in Hawaiian), but whatever. Stay sweet Rupert!
