Mount Mutiny is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Bligh Waters, Fiji. The maximum depth is 131-140ft/40-43m. The average visibility is 81-90ft/25-27m.
Mount Mutiny is a seamount similar in many ways to E-6, yet much smaller, located only four miles away and named in honor of both Captain Bligh, who passed nearby shortly after the mutiny on the Bounty, and the passengers on a NAI’A charter who threatened mutiny unless they were allowed to dive the seamount again and again.... Diving is very much like E-6 in terms of pelagics and other fish life. The highlight of Mount Mutiny is the Rainbow Wall, a wall of unusual thin-stalked Chironepthya soft coral in a broad range of colors which blankets the south flank of Mount Mutiny for a distance of 200 meters in depths between 60 and 120 feet. This is one of the single prettiest soft coral dives anywhere.
