Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Always Cool offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Always Cool is a gentle introduction to Kadavu’s quieter side. At a comfortable 19 metres, it’s a perfect spot for newer divers to get comfortable, or for anyone wanting an easy, relaxed dive. We've often seen schools of unicornfish grazing over the hard corals, and the occasional whitetip reef shark cruising by in the late afternoon. The currents here are usually negligible, making for a very calm dive where you can take your time to really look for the smaller stuff hiding in the reef.
