Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Chile offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest diving.
Chile is a good spot for a relaxed dive along the outer reef, particularly if you’re newer to diving or just want an easy cruise. At 23 meters max, it's a comfortable depth for enjoying the coral formations without feeling rushed. We often see plenty of reef fish here, like parrotfish grazing and angelfish flitting between the soft corals. It's a gentle introduction to Kadavu's reefs, straightforward and enjoyable.
