Purple Turtle Fiji - Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef
The team at Purple Turtle Fiji are just solid, no-nonsense divers who know the Great Astrolabe Reef like the back of their hand. They’re based out of Matamanoa Island Resort, which means if you’re staying there, you’ve got effortless access to some truly incredible sites. We love how personal the operation feels, not like a big factory, and that intimacy really shines through in their guided dives. They’re PADI certified, so it’s a good spot if you’re looking to get your feet wet with a Discover Scuba or refresh your skills with a ReActivate. For divers looking for a seamless, resort-based experience right on the doorstep of the Great Astrolabe, Purple Turtle is a fantastic choice. We’d suggest them particularly for couples or families where some might be diving and others relaxing topside, as the resort itself is lovely. Their specialisation really lies in offering well-organised, personal dives for resort guests, making it incredibly convenient to explore Kadavu’s vibrant reefs without any logistical headaches. You’ll choose Purple Turtle for that effortless blend of resort comfort and serious diving on one of Fiji’s best outer reefs.
