The owner of a popular five-star floating bar and restaurant in Fiji denies claims that his staff were unprepared for emergencies after the death of a Chinese tourist following a water-based incident earlier this month. 

The victim, a 23-year-old university student in Australia, was with his friends when the incident occurred at Seventh Heaven Fiji in the Mamanuca Islands.
