Dense schools of fish gather over varied coral filled pinnacle tops, and a trumpet fish makes a guest appearance, on Bligh Reef Reef Fiji
The Islands of Fiji, which are located about 1300 Miles northeast of New Zealand's North Island, are part of Melanesia, a subset of Oceana, are coral reef rimmed volcanically formed Islands. About 85% of the population lives on the two north-south, side-by-side largest islands of Viti Levu and Vauna Levu. Fiji has long been recognized as a destination wedding paradise, offering numerous resorts catering to the romantically enaged. Romantically inclined or not, if you are a diver, Fiji should be on your to-dive-before-you-die bucket list. There's great diving all around the islands of Fiji including, the two areas shown here, Bligh Reef (yes, that Captain Bligh!) area off the north coast of main Island of Viti Levu and the amazing Great Astrolabe reef that rims the entire southern coast of the sparsely propulated, mostly jungle wilderness, Island of Kadavu.
Vanua Leva is the second-largest and second most populated island. Taveuni is the third largest island, which features several famous dive resorts. And then there is my fave, Kadavu, Home of the Great Astrolabe Reef! There's a lifetime of great diving all around the islands of Fiji. Below I feature two areas which I have thoroughly enjoyed, Bligh Reef and The Great Astrolabe Reef.
