Fiji is known as the soft
coral capital of the world |
 |
The colors are absolutely stunning.
My photography cannot do it justice |
|
This is what is known as a "Bommie".
It's a sharp pinnicle that ascends to
near the surface |
This is a beautiful crevice in an
enormous Bommie named E6 |
Sometimes bommies go vertically from
several thousand feet deep to a few feet
below the surface |
|
Brett and I are crusing at 100 ft.
It's a totally alien world down here. |

Light penetrating a little cavern we explored |
|
We always put out the trolling rods
as we moved the boat between dive sites |
We hooked into something huge on the last day. I got a chance to
spend some time in the fighting chair. It was MUCH harder than I
ever imaged. I was only good for 30 mins before having to hand off
to Sam. |
Sam, Moses, Luke, Josefa, and me with
the 120lb tuna. The crew will enjoy many wonderful meals with their
families
from this fish. |

Beth is checking out the beautiful colors |
These leaf fish really blend in! |
This leaf fish is sitting in a bad spot. |
|
This big grouper is named Leroy. He always hangs out on the shark
dive in hopes of snagging a little bit of food. |
These wonderful barracuda hang out in the same channel as the sharks |
Beth has a big shark right behind her! |
|
Amazing colors. |

It's believe this chemically hides them from predators while they sleep. |
|
We found these huge rays on our dive
at North Save-a-tack |
Despite the low vis, North Save-a-tack was my favorite location.
Lots of big fish! |
Beth found this cute little flounder |
|
Ribbon Eel |
They stick out really far until you get close |

I loved the blue colors in this clam. I saw dozens of these during
the week but this was the only blue one. |
