Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Mani’s Reef offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Mani’s Reef makes for a gentle introduction to Kadavu’s underwater world. It’s a shallow spot, topping out at 19 metres, which gives you plenty of bottom time to poke around. We often see a good variety of reef fish here – think clownfish in their anemones, small schools of snapper, and sometimes a passing reef shark cruising the edge. The conditions are usually calm, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon float.
