After we left Paradise Resort on Taveuni we motored across the strait through the main passage in the reef and picked up a mooring in Viani Bay. There are two moorings owned by Jack Fisher, a well-known local identity and third generation Anglo-Fijian. Jack is now in his late sixties but has been offering services to visiting yachts for many years. Apart from his moorings, he offers dive guiding for the reef, or can organize provisioning runs to Taveuni and will take your garbage for a small fee. (Jack deserves his own blog, so Bruce has promised to oblige I just have to convince him to start writing it!)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4073\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4073\" style=\"width: 548px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4073\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/?attachment_id=4073\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1181.jpg?fit=2126%2C1594\" data-orig-size=\"2126,1594\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon PowerShot SX60 HS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1468229002&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;27.058&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_1181\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Toucan on Jack&amp;#8217;s mooring, Viani Bay&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1181.jpg?fit=525%2C394\" class=\" wp-image-4073\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1181.jpg?resize=525%2C394\" alt=\"Toucan on Jack's mooring, Viani Bay\" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1181.jpg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1181.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1181.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_1181.jpg?w=1575 1575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Toucan on Jack&#8217;s mooring, Viani Bay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The currents are strong in the straight, so most dives are done as drift dives, which means you either need someone in the dinghy to follow the divers, tow your own dinghy (difficult on the deep dives), or go with a local dive operator. We opted to use Jack as our guide. Let\u2019s just say he\u2019s not a small man, so with three of us in the dinghy and all our dive gear it was a SLOW trip out to the reef! Our first dive was on \u201cPurple Wall\u201d \u2013 not too hard to guess what colour the corals were but not quite as spectacular as we were expecting. Maybe it suffered some damage from the cyclone or maybe we got the timing wrong.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4105\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4105\" style=\"width: 551px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4105\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/?attachment_id=4105\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AMBA0011-1.jpg?fit=1701%2C1276\" data-orig-size=\"1701,1276\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Ambarella MK-1&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;DCIM100MEDIA&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1467894046&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;210&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033444816053512&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;DCIM100MEDIA&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DCIM100MEDIA\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Some nice purples&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AMBA0011-1.jpg?fit=525%2C394\" class=\"wp-image-4105 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AMBA0011-1.jpg?resize=525%2C394\" alt=\"Some nice purples\" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AMBA0011-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AMBA0011-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AMBA0011-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AMBA0011-1.jpg?w=1701 1701w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/svtoucan.com\/svtblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/AMBA0011-1.jpg?w=1575 1575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4105\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">a bit of purple on the Purple Wall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having learnt our lesson from the long dinghy ride, the next time we opted to take Toucan out to the reef, again guided by Jack, and with the other Jack from \u201cHigh C\u2019s\u201d who came to do some snorkeling while we were diving.
