After my recent trip to Fiji with Mr.Oak, I have formed an opinion that there are no other places on this Earth that can match the untouched beauty of the Fijian island named Kadavu. Kadavu is isolated not only from other countries but from Fiji itself. It is a very short ride from Suva or Nadi. You can hire a boat to reach this island. The island of Kadavu is surrounded by the Great Astrolabe barrier reef, which is the fourth largest of its kind. The sea floor drops to 500 meters from the edge of the reef. This Pacific Ocean embedded island is an abode for varieties of tropical species of fishes. Game fishing is popular in this island and fishes come to this island as though drawn by a magnet. You will find rarest species of fishes in these waters. I (Mark Brewer) was left awestruck to view such a colorful population of fishes at Kadavu.

I stayed there with some friends for a while.......the mosquitos are pretty evil......so were the chillis growing wild so to speak......went fishing with the locals with nets.
There is a spot there..A reef..I cant remember the area but its deep and well known for big sharks.....If your were to say it....i would remember it......famous dive spot.....its a strange name.
I think its 4 or 5 letters long......do you know it? Pretty sure its around Kadavu.....Love the fijian people........would love to fish there one day too.Been there 4 times.
