Koro Sea Diving in Bligh Water
A Rich Bounty
Named after the famous sea captain, Bligh Water together with the Koro Sea are situated in the middle of the map of Fiji and more or less separate the north of the country from the south. Although there area few resorts scattered around here and there in this large area, it is really the domain of liveaboards.
The reefs which were once considered treacherous obstacles to sailing vessels in days gone by are now the modern playgrounds of divers, particularly photographers, seeking pristine conditions and uncrowded dive sites.
Highlights
E-6 - Aptly named for a dive site which is a real photographers' favourite, E-6 is a remote and often diver-free site equally impressive by day or by night. The reason for its photogenic nature is a mix of the colour, abundant life and awesome topography of the site. It features the Cathedral, a swim-through of a lifetime where your photographs can indeed turn out to be divine.
