Re: Back from Fiji...
So more photos kids...

First couple are from the famous White Wall, so named because of the unusual soft coral that inhabit the area. Starting at a depth of about 50 feet you swim through a cave and pop out at about 120 feet (Should all the divers have been cave certified for that?). It's a tough swim getting to the cave in the heavy current, but once inside, there was virtually no current. The wall continues to a depth of over 200 feet. The underwater escarpment is covered with an almost luminescent white coral tinged with lavender that appears white at depth, hence the name.

First shot is the divers in the cave, backlit by the sun. Second shot are some of the squirrel fish (or something like squirrel fish) near the exit of the cave.
