Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Kuata Back Reef offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Kuata Back Reef sits in a sheltered spot, a nice easy dive if you’re just getting comfortable in the water. It’s shallow, topping out at 14m, which means plenty of light on the reef. We often see reef sharks cruising through, and the smaller parrotfish are always busy on the corals. If you’re a newer diver, or just looking for a relaxed afternoon with good visibility, this is a solid choice.
