Resuscitology

In late September, Fiji's dry season is easing into warmer, calmer days—perfect for swapping lecture halls for the turquoise lagoon right outside the Shangri-La. Between sessions, snorkel the coral gardens, hike the coastal trail to the Caves of the Mborokua, and end each day with a kokoda (fresh fish in coconut cream) at a beachside bure. It's a rare chance to sharpen your resuscitation skills while the sun lingers and the crowds are thin.
