The 'white' is actually pale lilac soft coral that inflates only in current, so timing is everything. Fiji is the soft coral capital of the world for a reason. Somosomo Strait funnels nutrient-rich water between Vanua Levu and Taveuni, feeding soft corals to a density found nowhere else. Fijian villages hold traditional fishing rights (qoliqoli) over these reefs and many have declared their own no-take zones. Anchorage: Anchor in Viani Bay, one of the finest anchorages in Fiji, right on the strait. Hazards: Must be dived on the correct tide for the coral to be open. Plus
