Diving Namena Marine Reserve's "Crossroads" site with KoroSun Dive

 Donna and I really enjoyed our two scuba dives in Namena Marine Reserve earlier this week with KoroSun Dive.  The first site was called, if memory serves, "Crossroads" so named for the large gatherings of schools of jacks, barracuda, and sharks along the wall.  We saw large schools of jacks and barracuda as well as several Whitetip Reef Sharks and Gray Reef Sharks.  We also enjoyed an encounter with a very large Bumphead Wrasse on a cleaning station but I didn't get close enough for any great photos of it unfortunately.

Below are a few pictures from our dive at Crossroads, the link to more is:

 The south Pacific is known for its stunning corals.  Fiji is absolutely tops in the world for soft coral.

 On this dive I excelled at looking the wrong way for the closest shark approaches...
Check out the density of the life on the wall!
