Flora Reef - Taveuni & Somosomo Strait

Thorndike Shoal up in Alaska, it's not your typical tropical getaway. We’re talking cold water, but that means a different kind of magic. We've seen some impressive big skates here, flat against the seabed, and the giant octopuses are always a treat if you can spot them tucked away. Keep an eye out for guillemots diving through the water column, hunting alongside you. It's a spot that suits divers who appreciate the raw, wild side of the ocean, where the species list leans heavily towards the rugged and the unique, rather than the colourful. Come prepared for the chill, and you'll find something genuinely special.
