Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Garden of Eden offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
We really like the Garden of Eden for a relaxed afternoon dive, especially after something a bit more challenging. It’s a shallow spot, topping out around 19 meters, which means plenty of light for the corals and good bottom time. You’ll find lots of anemonefish darting amongst their homes, schools of fusiliers reflecting the sun, and sometimes a few reef sharks cruising past in the distance. It’s an easy, gentle dive, perfect for beginners getting comfortable or experienced divers just looking to unwind and soak in the Fijian reefscape without any drama.
