Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Manning Reef offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest reef diving.
Manning Reef, part of Kadavu's Great Astrolabe Reef, gives you a solid Fiji coral experience. We’ve seen healthy hard coral formations here, with plenty of reef fish flitting through the staghorns and bommies. It’s a good spot if you’re looking for a relaxed dive without strong currents, suitable for newer divers or those who prefer a slower pace. Expect to find your usual Pacific reef residents; triggerfish, parrotfish, and the occasional whitetip cruising past.
