Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Fantastic offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest diving.
Fantastic lives up to its name, especially for newer divers exploring Kadavu. We've spent many a lazy afternoon here, drifting over the healthy coral gardens that sit around the 20-meter mark. It’s a gentle spot, perfect for getting comfortable in the water, watching the reef sharks cruise by, or spotting a hawksbill turtle munching on sponges. With minimal current and an easy profile, it’s a site we often recommend for those looking to ease into the Astrolabe's magic without any fuss.
