This will be more of a photo diary rather than an involved post. I love snorkeling and do it almost every time I visit a tropical island/beach location.  So, I’ve been snorkeling in several places in the Caribbean, Mexico and French Polynesia.  Fiji blew them all away in terms of healthy reefs and abundance of sea life.  We mostly snorkeled the reef that was in front of our beachfront bure and it was amazing!  So many fish!  For this trip, I bought an Aquatech underwater housing for my iphone and it worked great – so easy to use and my phone was perfectly dry and protected the entire time.  I highly recommend. Below are photos from several different days of snorkeling the reef at Matamanoa Island.  It was an incredible reef.

We also snorkeled at Monuriki island but the coral and reef at Matamanoa was much more impressive.  My only regret on this trip is not taking more snorkeling trips further afield. Maybe some other visit!
