Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Challis Reef offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Challis Reef is a solid dive along the Great Astrolabe. We usually find ourselves drifting over healthy hard coral formations, with plenty of reef fish going about their business. It’s a reliable spot for seeing whitetip reef sharks patrolling the drop-off. Good for divers who appreciate healthy reefscapes without the drama of pelagic action.
