Why dive here
With 382+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, humpback whales and sperm whales - Mellow Yellow offers some of Kadavu & Great Astrolabe Reef's richest diving.
Mellow Yellow, off Kadavu, is a really approachable dive. It’s a gentle slope, topping out around 22 meters, which makes it a nice intermediate spot without too much fuss. We've seen a good mix of smaller reef sharks cruising by and plenty of the usual suspects like parrotfish and triggerfish going about their day. It’s a solid choice for when you want a relaxed dive with consistent coral coverage, not too deep, and generally free from demanding currents.
