Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Elijah’s Reef offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Elijah’s Reef is a gentle introduction to Kadavu’s underwater world, a comfortable spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. At a maximum depth of 14m, it's a bright, shallow dive where you can take your time exploring the reef structure. We often find schools of sweetlips hanging around the coral bommies, and the occasional whitetip reef shark cruises by. It’s a good place to refine buoyancy or just enjoy a quiet dive.
