Chatted with my travel agent today. She told me that it's $1100.00 per ticket cheaper to fly to PNG through Fiji. It almost sounds like I need to spend a week lounging about Fiji and doing a bit of diving. I haven't done any research on this yet, so I'm looking for suggestions.

It's looking like that we'll fly directly through Nadi to Port Moresby, PNG. Kick around Port Moresby for a few days, jet over to Rabaul, spend 9 days on the Star Dancer, kick around Rabaul for 2 days, then head back for Fiji. My wife's a trooper and she's willing to dive a ton, but it's me who's hard core, so I'd like to do maybe 5 days or so at a land based resort and grab another 10-12 dives in Fiji without breaking the bank. This trip is already gonna put a huge crimp in the savings, but isn't that what savings are for? Suggestions?
