Hidden Worlds’ Annex (Bay of Islands, Vanua Balavu, Fiji)

September 19 – 23, 2013

Just outside the area we named “the Hidden Worlds,” was yet another intriguing area. Along the shoreline a small island, barely separated from the larger land mass, hid two pools just behind it.

As we motored in, the water went from very bright blue to a beautiful green in the pools themselves. In shallow water under the ledges we could see hundreds of bright blue damselfish.

Below, a gallery showing the entry to one of the pools . . .

And then a few photos of the pools themselves . . . (click to enlarge/scroll through any of the galleries in this post.)

The photos above were taken on different days, cloudy days lending it a subtle glow to the water while full sun brought out an almost neon brightness.

After exiting the pools and traveling along the ledges along the shoreline, we had a nice view of our boat behaving herself in the anchorage across the channel. Yet another lovely spot in a lovely place. – Cyndi
