E.T. - Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef

E.T. is a behemoth of a bommie on Kadavu, so big you’ll barely touch the edges on a single dive. We’re talking about an enormous tunnel here, long enough that you glide through it into two distinct chambers. Keep your eyes peeled for grey reef sharks cruising the perimeter and schools of fusiliers that sometimes cloud your vision. The light play inside the tunnel can be pretty dramatic, a good spot for wide-angle shots if you time it right. It’s a solid dive for those who enjoy exploring larger structures and aren’t afraid of a bit of an interior cruise.
