My Dream Vacation- LOOONG Overdue Pics

Next are some pics of some various animals/corals that I came across...

First is this AWESOME looking clam... never seen a color pattern like this and this was no more than 10 feet off of our dock!

The upcoming pics will be of what Fiji reefs are apparently famous for...

Enjoy!

I'm not sure how much everyone knows about Fiji, but apparently it is known as THE place for soft coral diving... here's why:

Most of these corals were at a depth of about 40 to 50 feet (even though you would sometimes find them a lot shallower), and it was like swimming through a freakin' rainbow... pretty awesome.

And this one is by far my favorite shot... three corals in one shot... all beautiful.

That's it for now. Gotta load some more pics from the camera (took over 700- not all of them good shots of course).

Thanks,

Chad
