During daylight we saw schools of barracuda, jacks, big tuna, mackerel, and the occasional small shark out in the blue near the 1,000 foot wall at “E6”.  However, at night it was just pitch black!  I tried not to think about what might be out there and shone my torch on the beautiful coral wall on my left.  We followed Tim our young Fijian guide along the wall to the rear entrance of our night dive objective, “The Cathedral”.  We entered this triangular shaped grotto and switched on our lights which turned night into day as we filmed the large gorgonians on the walls of this unique dive site.
