Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Cannon Cove offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Cannon Cove is a solid choice when you're diving Kadavu, especially if you're looking for something that offers a bit more than just a wall. We like it for its gentle slope down to 30 metres, scattered with bommies that attract their own little communities. You'll find plenty of smaller reef fish darting between the hard corals, and often we’ve seen whitetip reef sharks cruising lazily along the bottom. It's an intermediate dive, straightforward enough for those with a few dives under their belt, and a pleasant way to spend an hour underwater.
