Fish Patch
Just 15 minutes by dive boat from Suva, this half-day dive takes in breath-taking coral-heads which tower to within 10 feet of the surface, then drop off in a vertical face to over 1,000 feet. The greatest coral "wall" in the South Pacific, festooned with black coral trees and huge stands of gorgonia. On top of the coral heads, divers hand-feed the thousands of reef fish which gather for their daily meal. Here lies the huge anchor from the square-rigger "Woosung" - the entire area is an underwater photographer's delight. An incredibly versatile dive spot for the experienced diver, the novice and the snorkler.
Named for the much-photographed Taiwanese fishing boat that sits high and dry on top of the reef. But below, the Main Suva Reef is honeycombed with gutters, tunnels and caves. Sharp eyes and a torch spot the crayfish in the holes and you might be lucky enough to see the big nurse shark that lazes through this underwater labyrinth. We shouldn't tell you, but two Golden Cowries have been found in this area.
