BLIGH WATERS

E6
15-120 ft
A huge pinnacle rises from 3000 ft in the center of the narrowest part of the channel between Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, as if perfectly placed to intercept the nutrients being funneled through...a photographer's dream! Where the current runs, you'll encounter big pelagics such as schooling barracuda, trevally, surgeonfish and occasional hammerheads and eagle rays. You'll also enjoy a plethora of reef fish including anthius, fusiliers and leaf scorpionfish. Soft corals and fans decorate the protected, lee side of the pinnacle. The Cathedral, a large swim-through, is home to a variety of poison-bristle nudibranchs and crustaceans. This is also an amazing night dive with giant cuttlefish putting in an appearance and numerous flashlight fish lighting the way.

NORTH SAVE A TACK
15-90 ft
A wall plateauing at about 75 ft is home to giant schools of big-eye trevally and barracuda. A careful search of the plateau may reveal black pygmy seahorses. Grey reef sharks patrol the wall while white tips lie along the bottom. Nearby, a line of coral bommies covered in gorgonia fans, crinoids, black coral, soft coral, and reef fish await your exploration. Look for shrimp, squat lobster, several varieties of nudibranch, moon wrasses, anemones with clownfish, and unicornfish.

BLUE RIDGE
30-90 ft
A sloping coral wall covered in vibrant hard and soft corals hides leaf scorpionfish, ribbon eels, fire gobies, and dartfish. Although you can easily get caught up in the search, don't forget to also scan the waters around you. Schools of barracuda, white tip reef sharks, and even hammerheads are possibilities here.

SUNSET RIDGE
10-100 ft
Coral bommies covered in a rainbow of soft corals, sea fans, and crinoids house harlequin ghost pipefish, anemones and clownfish, numerous lion and scorpionfish, and unusual crabs and shrimp. The deeper ridge is frequently a hang out for schools of big eye trevally, rainbow runner, barracuda and surgeonfish. Also possible are white tip, silver tip, and grey reef sharks, bumphead maori wrasse, hawksbill and green turtles, and eagle rays.

KEENAN'S
15-90 ft
A narrow pinnacle blooms with sponges and soft corals galore. Nudibranchs, shrimp, damselfish, moon wrasses, anemones and clownfish, and blue streak fusiliers abound, while mantas regularly glide by.

CHIMNEYS
15-105 ft
3 bommies covered in hard and soft corals, anemones and crinoids of black, orange, yellow and green offer plenty of opportunity for exploration. Search the nooks and crannies for hawkfish, nudibranchs, black saddle coral groupers, scribbled filefish, and brown-banded pipefish while tons of anthias add color and movement. In the open water, you're bound to see humpback snapper, big-eyed bream, barracuda, tuna, and a variety of sharks.
