ANZAC - Taveuni & Somosomo Strait

ANZAC is a standout for us in the Somosomo Strait, even among all the soft coral. It's not the deepest dive, topping out around 22 meters, but it’s packed. We love dropping onto that single coral head, it really is a kaleidoscope of colour. The swim-through at its heart is fantastic, covered in soft corals that just explode with vibrancy when the current picks up. This site truly sings when there's a good push of water. That's when you see the anthias and fusiliers schooling so thick they almost obscure the reef, a living curtain of fish. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, we've spotted some beautiful Hoeven's wrasse and those tiny, intricate dotted wrasse tucked into the coral. It’s a site that rewards a slow drift and a keen eye. While it’s fine at any time, we'd suggest hitting it with some current for the full show. Divers will experience a concentrated burst of reef life here, especially with the flow, making it perfect for those who appreciate both wide-angle reefscapes and macro details. Even experienced snorkelers can get a taste of the action closer to the surface.
