Dahab, Egypt (Red Sea)

Dahab, Egypt (Red Sea) About 90km north of Sharm el Sheikh lies the town of Dahab. Dahab means 'gold' in Arabic. In Sinai, however, it actually means golden sands, turquoise sea and off-beat cafe life. The town itself mainly consists of two villages; the Bedouin village of Assalah in the southern half, with the business and administrative center of Dahab to the north. Dahab should be experienced for what it currently has to offer; Egyptian and bedouin culture, exquisite diving and its beautiful setting with swaying palms, fine sand and wonderful snorkeling and diving opportunities.

Nasonisoni Island, Fiji

The whole area around the island (including Nasonisoni) is popular for its reefs and scuba diving adventures, archeological sites, kayaking and hiking.

Nasonisoni is largely an undeveloped island and has one major village - about 20 minutes by boat from our base. The bures (huts) are located on the beach front and are sheltered by lime, coconut and orange trees. It really is quite primative out here and it's a remote and secluded part of this world!
