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 recent 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 Siphonogorgia 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.
