Fiji

Fiji's 330 islands are a snorkelers' paradise. A spectacular feature of the archipelago's reefs are "bommies," pillars of coral that rise from the depths to within a few feet of the surface. On the broad bommie top live giant clams, starfish, urchins, anemonies, and a variety of fish, including clownfish, plumed lion fish, groupers, puffers, wrasses, barracudas, manta rays, and reef sharks. Boat tours visit far-flung reefs, though some good ones are accessible from shore.
