We think this is the best coral garden we've seen. We spent an hour today and plan to go back tomorrow; access is limited by the tides as it is too shallow to get across the reef at anything less than high tide without leaving a lot of flesh. Not the best fish population we've seen, but that's a good thing because it keeps down the shark also. Visibility is almost 100'.

Maybe we'll just stay here.

PS The Niue Gallery is on the blog now. It begins with views in Alofi, the main town, then goes around the island (different days so different skies) and finishes with the village festival.
