There's more to diving here than soft coral, white sand and a bilo shell filled to high tide.

The airport resonated with a serenade, strummed by Fijians with ukuleles and guitars, with the verse "bula, ni sa bula," which means "good morning and good health." Bula is the universal Fijian greeting. After a few days diving in this tropical land, I found myself saying it to everyone from divemasters and fellow travelers to village children.
"Bula," the children would say shyly and then gawk.
"Booolah," I'd reply and they'd erupt in laughter.
It's the sort of phrase that lets you know, from the minute you step into the humid airport to claim your dive gear, that you are among the friendliest people in the Pacific, if not the world.
