Dive Information

Marine Life

Kadavu and its reefs are famous for their variety. You can expect to see a full range of coral fish and then there could be mantas, turtles, jacks, tuna, sharks, grouper, sea snakes, rays, nudibranchs & more - just about anything is possible.

The Manta Encounter

While there is always the chance to see Manta Rays even near our close dive sites, we have located a site that consistently produces close encounters with these gentle giants. Some of the mantas encountered on the dive site have been up to 20 feet wide. We offer the Manta Dive as an all day trip which includes a 2-tank dive and a Fijian picnic lunch. Due to the location of the dive site on the southern side of the island, this dive is dependant on calm weather and cannot be pre-booked. Please inquire for details.
