With the 300 plus islands being scattered over 1.3 million square kilometres of the South Pacific Ocean, Fiji boasts one of the largest and most diverse coral reef systems on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>And during the May to October period, prepare to be humbled by the graceful orchestra of the manta rays dancing below you.
