Dive through psychedelic forests on Rainbow Reef

FIJI // Divers are spoilt for choice in Fiji's archipelago, where waters have been dubbed the soft-coral capital of the world. Strong tidal currents push the deep water back and forth through the Somosomo Strait, providing such rich nutrients for the soft corals and sea fans that they form psychedelic underwater forests. Highlights include an immense drop-off covered in luminescent corals known as the Great White Wall, and Annie's Brommies - an outcrop teeming with fish.
