Sometime early this morning we arrived at Vatu-i-ra: a reef system in the north-west area of the Bligh Water. Fiji is known for its abundance of soft corals, and it does not disappoint. Every time I come back here, I am amazed at the sheer volume of reds, oranges, yellows and purples as well as the vast schools of fish swarming over the reef that can at times make it hard to see. Other places I have visited have beautiful reefs, but Fiji outshines them all.
After a full day of diving, tonight we hoist anchor and sail east to the Namena Marine Reserve.
