So this happened today...Orcas in the Somosomo Strait! Taveuni Dive Resort, Fiji!
A pod of 6 or 7 Orcas, following the Humpbacks that migrate through our waters, showed up in the Somosomo Strait in Fiji today. One large male, several females and at least two juvenile Orcas, feeding on what we believe may have been a calf from a pod of Humpbacks that have been lingering in the channel for almost a month now. An amazing and unusual sighting here!

Aside from the schools of Barracuda, Trevally, Unicorn fish and more, as well as the spectacularly prolific & multi-colored corals, we swam in a sea of Blue-and-Yellow Fusiliers for much of the dive. Sometimes you just don't know where to point the camera... #taveunidiveresort #rainbowreef #ilovefiji #ilovescubadiving

TAVEUNI blue: Diving the Rainbow Reef in Fiji with the Taveuni Dive Resort team in 2023.
Hello , How deep were you to get these fantastic videos , planning to stay in Paradise Taveuni , but we are not divers , but love ocean floor so much . Do you think snorkeling at Rainbow Reef should be ok? Heard about strong currents to bring nutrients for fish and coral , so I don’t think is appropriate for us .Plz help with your opinion Thanks so much
Bula vinaka! This was all shot between 7 and 24 meters, mostly around 15 meters. The snorkeling on the Rainbow Reef can be fantastic. The crew at Paradise should take good care of you, choosing spots with minimal current and a guide in the water with you. Enjoy your stay and thank you!
Beautiful❤
as fascinating as it is. its quite common in this part of Taveuni water's (The Nasomo Strait passage) nd frankly for other mammals like the humpback whales, Tiger Sharks, Bullshark, white tip, black tip shark, Dolphins', turtles, squid and many more.... Nd from this view of them its quite the view 👌👌🦜🦜
They appear to be feasting on something? Are they the new apex predator in the region? Will this up-end the food chain in Fiji waters?
Chill bro they are common in these parts nd so as other mammals like the humpbacks' (🐳 whales) ,dolphins, shark's ,giant Sea Turtles and many other
Incredible! So beautiful! Wonderful creatures.
Amazing ❤
Absolutely beautiful ❤️💯
what sort of camera did you use?
GoPro10, shallow water filter, 1200 Sola light.
Shot in 2K, 120fps, wide.
What month was this? Just trying to figure out what time of year I should go. Thx!
Bula from Fiji. This is a compilation from throughout the year and diving is good all year. For the best visibility, May to October is best. The water temperatures are a bit cooler then. For Mantas, generally its rare here, but March to May-ish. Hope this helps!
Lovely footage! I hit that subscribe button. Best regards from Sweden
What name of dive company did you choose
Koh Kood Divers. Tell Jessie 'Hal sent ya!'. KK is a beautiful island, enjoy 😉
@@halfarley5946 thank you
Amazing.
Wow!
Pretending I'm back there as I sit at my desk working....
Just wondering what camera set up you used for this?? TIA
Gopro10 in a supersuit, shallow water red filter, single 1200 Sola light, 120 fps, 2K, wide angle. No color correction in post, all straight out of the camera.
Thank you!
@@halfarley5946 thank you so much. It looks truly amazing. Well done!! I’m heading to Fiji in June so want to make sure I’m all sorted. Thank you again
Since when are there manta rays in the Rainbow Reef? This looks fake
Nice work Hal. Excited to be back for new years.
Headed there in February. This video maxes out my excitement! Thanks.
EXCELLENT video!! Thanks so much for sharing!
This video is pro. Very thoughtfully shot
Thank you, what a great compliment!
Hi it looks like lots of the reef is dead. Loads of fish. Perhaps suffered under a couple of the big cyclones. We dived at taveuni - not at Rainbow. Acres of massive plate coral but that was back in 2011
Hal This is fantastic! Wonderful memories. Thank you !
you are the zen master of scuba
Great filming.
Was a funny surprise seeing a few clips of my class in there!, great vid can't wait till I go back again.
Your group was a Blast to dive with, I hope we see you again soon!
That's spectacular
Can't wait to dive it with you!
@@halfarley5946how much was the cost of the resort? Planning a trip to Fiji in September or October this year and landing in Nadi. Did you take another flight to the island? How much was that? Any info about the scuba diving and resort and how to get there would be greatly appreciated!!
@@runforrestrun2428 For booking costs & flight details, please contact Jon@taveunidiveresort.com. He will have all your answers!
Taveuni Dive Resort (TDR) is the best, so it comes as no surprise that this is probably one of the best video's highlighting a scuba dive resort (TDR) on the planet !!!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
@@halfarley5946the boat leaving me and returning later is scary shit. Do you remember the American couple that got forgotten and left on Australian reef twenty six years ago..Never did find them!
where exactly is this? I'm also in Koh Kood this week. Have a Nice day
Hi Ruth, This is from Koh Kood Divers, and Koh Rang National Marine Park. KKD has wonderful staff and a great boat, they offer trips to the park with diving, snorkeling and courses. I taught diving there before covid. If you stop by their shop, tell 'em Hal sent ya! Enjoy KK, I love the beaches there, stunning! The waterfalls are cool too.
Hey Hal, im heading to do some diving st the rainbow reef soon! What camera have you been shooting with?
Hi Ethan, I just use a gopro 10 and an old 1200 lumin Sola light on a small tray. I use the supersuit and usually a shallow or mid depth red filter. If it's clear water and sunny, which it usually is, the gopro makes everything look great. Hope to see you down here!
You guys are living the dream!! Great video!
Thanks so much!!
The colours...
Absolutely beautiful - so happy you're living your dream 💕
wow how awesome
1:04 2:50 4:28 wow 😍

Excellent video!! I’ve dived here many times. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really beautiful Video!! :)
Thank you very much!
how deep
Most of the diving around these islands is 10 to 14 meters, somewhat shallow. There are a few deeper dive sites, but the majority of reef & fish life is 10 meters and up. Happy Diving to you!
Great vid Hal!
