Purple Rain is a vivid Fiji soft-coral wall dive
Purple Rain is a Bligh Water wall dive off Fiji's Viti Levu coast, where coral heads and the wall are smothered in vivid purple soft corals. The site rewards a slow, unhurried approach on the right current, with plenty of color and a profile that suits photographers and patient recreational divers. It is one of the area's signature soft-coral dives rather than a high-speed channel run.
