Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Dawson Reef offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Dawson Reef in Kadavu offers a good representation of the Astrolabe's general reef structure. You'll find a healthy coralscape with consistent fish activity, often including reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections. It’s a solid choice for divers looking for reliable Fijian reef diving without extreme currents or depth. We think it’s a good barometer for the wider Astrolabe experience.
