Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Barracuda Drift offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest drift diving.
Barracuda Drift in Kadavu is exactly what it sounds like – an easy, relaxing drift. At a mellow 18 meters, it’s a perfect introduction to current diving for beginners, or just a nice warm-up for more experienced divers. The current here usually isn't too challenging, just enough to gently carry you past schools of fusiliers and the occasional reef shark cruising by. We’ve spotted grey reefs and whitetips making their rounds, and the soft corals here are a pleasant backdrop. It’s a good spot for some easy photography, too, without fighting a strong surge.
