Purple Wall - Taveuni & Somosomo Strait
The Purple Wall lives up to its name, a sheer drop-off painted in shades of violet by soft corals. It's a drift dive, best enjoyed by those comfortable moving with the current, allowing you to glide past the vibrant wall. Look for anthias schooling close to the coral, and keep an eye out into the blue for pelagics. It’s a rewarding site for divers who appreciate dramatic topography and colorful invertebrate life.
